well there are two ways to do this problem either use the point-slope forumla or the slope intercept formula.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "using the point-slope formula we get
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-y1=m(x-x1)
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y1 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2
\n" ); document.write( "x1 = 6
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-4=2(x-6)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x-12+4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x-8
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "using the slope intercept formula we get
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = mx+b
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4 = 2(6)+b
\n" ); document.write( "4 = 12+b
\n" ); document.write( "-8 = b
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x-8
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "either way you get the same answer y=2x-8 or if you want it in standard form its 2x-y=8 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
