Question 1101109: Given the points (-3,5) and (6,-2):
a. find the slope of the line through the points
b. write an equation in point-slope form of the line through the points
c. convert the equation to slope-intercept form
d. convert the equation to standard form, Ax + By = C, where A,B, and C are integers.
Graph the equation

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given the points (p,v) and (h,k):
(a) Find the slope.
(b) Write the point-slope form equation.
(c) Convert to slope-intercept form.



SLOPE, %28v-k%29%2F%28p-h%29

Pick either point; arbitrarily here choosing (h,k):
y-k=%28%28v-k%29%2F%28p-h%29%29%28x-h%29

and then

y=%28%28v-k%29%2F%28p-h%29%29%28x-h%29%2Bk

y=%28%28v-k%29%2F%28p-h%29%29x-h%28%28v-k%29%2F%28p-h%29%29%2Bk------do whatever else you need with this...

Maybe you figure out part d on your own. Result should be 7x%2B9y=24.
