write in point slope form equation that passes through the point 3,0 and a slope of 2/3
---------
Use y-y%5B1%5D+m%2A%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope
==============================
write an equation of a line that passes through point 2,0 and is perpendicular to the line y=-1/2x+3
The slope of the line is -1/2
The slope of lines perpendicular is the negative inverse, = 2
--
Use y-y%5B1%5D+m%2A%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope
=========================
write equation of line that passes through (-3,-4) and (0,2)
Use parentheses for the points.
Find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx = (-4-2)/(-3-0) = 2
---
Use y-y%5B1%5D+m%2A%28x-x%5B1%5D%29 where (x1,y1) is either point and m is the slope
