I am having a hard time answering a slope question. The coordinates (2,3) and (8,8) are given.
\n" ); document.write( "I have found that the slope of the coordinates is 5/6 using y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "I am unsure how to put that into standard form or determining the slope-intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "====================
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is 5/6
\n" ); document.write( "Use slope m = diffy/diffx = 5/6
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "It's the slope of the line thru the points, not the slope of the coordinates, tho.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Use the slope and either point to find an equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where (x1,y1) is one of the points.
\n" ); document.write( "y - 3 = (5/6)*(x - 2)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 6 to eliminate the fraction.
\n" ); document.write( "6y - 18 = 5x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 6y = -8 (Standard form)
\n" ); document.write( "y = (5/6)x + 4/3 (slope-intercept form) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
