Find the slope of the line which goes through points (1.2, 8) and (3.6, 10).
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope:
\n" ); document.write( "m = $\"%2810-8%29%2F%283.6-1.2%29\"$ = $\"2%2F2.4\"$ = $\"1%2F1.2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Using point/slope form: y -y1 = m(x-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 8 = $\"1%2F1.2\"$ (x - 1.2)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 8 = $\"1%2F1.2\"$ x - 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"1%2F1.2\"$ x - 1 + 8
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"1%2F1.2\"$ x + 7
\n" ); document.write( " Make sure you simplify the fraction into integers (if necessary) to match the definition of the Standard Form of an equation.
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by 12
\n" ); document.write( "12y = 10x + 84
\n" ); document.write( "-10x + 12y = 84
\n" ); document.write( "simplify, divide by -2
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 6y = -42; the standard form \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
