sure. I am sure you are aware of the point slope formula which states that
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y-k=m(x-h) where m is the slope and (h,k) is any point on the line. That is what we will be using.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "using our point of (4,3)....y- $\"3\"$ = $\"7\"$ (x- $\"4\"$ ). Now we want this in standard form which is Ax+By=C.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y-3=7x-28....distributing the right side
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "7x-y-28=-3...subtracting y from both sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%287x-y=25%29\"$ adding 28 to both sides \n" ); document.write( "
