P(4,0), m= -0.6
\n" ); document.write( "the problem asks me to find the equation in standard form using these points and the slope
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "If y=mx+b, 0=(-6/10)(4)+b
\n" ); document.write( "0=-(24/10)+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=24/10
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "y=(-6/10)x+24/10
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru by 10 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "10y=-6x+24
\n" ); document.write( "Put in standard form, as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "6x+10y=24
\n" ); document.write( "or, dividing thru by 2, you get:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+5y=12
