You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You then have two points and can compute the slope.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%285-%28-4%29%29%2F%280-6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=-9%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=-3%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The way standard form for a line works is that m=-(A/B), but I am referring to Ax+By=C, so that this causes no confusion among typical and assigned variables. We have here A=3 and B=2, so we can write:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%283x%2B2y=C%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can now find the value of C because we know at least one point of our line. We were given points (6,-4) and (0,5). This work will use the y-intercept.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2A0%2B2%2A5=C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0%2B10=C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=10\";
\n" ); document.write( "Equation in standard form for our line is \"highlight%283x%2B2y=10%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
