Make a plan.


Find slope; take either of the given points and form the point-slope form equation; convert this into standard form.

You just need to have the skill to change y-v=m%28x-p%29, for slope m and known point (p,v), into Ax%2BBy=C format. Assume you will have m=n%2Fd because slope is usually rational.

I told what to do, but I did not tell exactly how to do it; only gave you the basic idea.

You should have this equation when you're finished: highlight%284x-3y=30%29.
