| Question 503510:  Find the following:
 A)Find equation of the line in slope intercept form
 B) Standard form
 
 Through the line (-4,2) and parallel to the line through (3,9) and (6,11)
 First I plugged points into slope formula
 11-9 = 2
 6-3 = 3
 m = 3/2
 Next, I plug in m = slope into the slope intercept formula
 y=mx+b
 9=3/2 (3)+ b
 This is where I seem to have problems from here on.  Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Through the line (-4,2) and parallel to the line through (3,9) and (6,11) First I plugged points into slope formula
 change in y:  11-9 = 2
 change in x:   6-3 = 3
 m = 2/3
 Next, I plug in m = slope into the slope intercept formula
 y=mx+b
 9=(2/3)(3)+ b
 9 = 2 + b
 b = 7
 ----
 Equation:
 y = (2/3)x + 7
 ===================
