You can put this solution on YOUR website! How do I find the equation of the line passing through (2, -3) and (4,0). And then how do I put it into standard form?
-------------------------------
slope = m = (-3-0)/(2-4) = -3/-2 = 3/2
------------------------------------------
Form: y = mx+b
0 = (3/2)4+b
0 = 6 + b
b = -6
-------------------------------
Equation:
y = (3/2)x-6
