Please help me solve this, I don't understand it. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, solve the given equation for in terms of everything else to put the given equation into slope-intercept form, namely .
Next, using the slope determined in the first step and the coordinates of the given point, insert values into the point-slope form of an equation of a line:
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the calculated slope.
Finally, solve the derived equation for in terms of everything else in order to arrange your answer into slope-intercept form.
