<PRE><B>Question 536614</B>
Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through (5, 4) and (7, 8). Please show all of your work.
--------------
|x y 1|
|5 4 1| = 0
|7 8 1|
--------
x*(4-8) - y*(5-7) + (40-28) = 0
-4x + 2y + 12 = 0
2x - y = 6 (standard form)
y = 2x - 6 (slope intercept form)
