This is what to do:

The linear equation Ax+By=C has a slope -A%2FB
and the formula for slope is %28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29.
(1) Evaluate the slope using your two given points.

(2) Choose your integer values of A and B from the slope which you found.
(3) Form the expression Ax+By using the values you chose for A and B.

(4) Use either of the given points to evaluate C.


EQUATION: highlight%285x%2B8y=6%29
