Question 664636: write the equation of the line through (-3,14)and (-6,9)in standard form

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use your coordinates to determine slope
y coordinates 9 and 14
x coordinates -6 and -3
slope+=+%289-14%29%2F%28-6+-+-3%29
slope = %28-5%29%2F%28-3%29
...
So far, y = 5%2F3x + b
...
Plug in one of the coordinates to solve for b
Using (-3,14)
14 = 5%2F3(-3) + b
14 = -5 + b
b = 14 + 5
b = 19
...
Linear equation for the coordinates (-3,14) and (-6,9) is
y = 5%2F3x + 19
...
