I need help with this problem: What is the standard form of an equation form of that passes through (3,0)and (6,-8).
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Use the slope formula:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    y2 - y1\r\n" );
document.write( "m = —————————\r\n" );
document.write( "    x2 - x1\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "where (x1, y1) = (0,-1) and (x2, y2) = (3,1)  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     (1) - (-1)     2     \r\n" );
document.write( "m = ———————————— = ——— = \"2%2F3\"\r\n" );
document.write( "     (3) - (0)      3     \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now substitute in the point slope formula:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "  y - y1 = m(x - x1)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "  y - (-1) = \"2%2F3\"(x - 0)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    y + 1  = \"2%2F3\"x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        y  - \"2%2F3\"x - 1\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Here's the graph:\r\n" );
