\n" ); document.write( " It gives two coordinates (1,4),(-1,1) then asks to put the points into point-slope form which I did y-4=3/2(x-1)then the problem wants you to write one in standard form using integers. I looked up the answer in the back of the book and it showed an answer of -3x+2y=5 but I have no idea how to get to that answer. Thanks if you can help. \n" ); document.write( "

From your correct point slope form:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-4=3%28x-1%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "To get all of our numbers to be integers we'll have to get rid of the 2 on the bottom. To do that we can multiply both sides by 2:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28y-4%29=3%28x-1%29%282%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The 2/2 cancel as one. Distribute both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y-8=3x-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange variables to the right and constants on the left to get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y-3x=5\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
