Question

A line passes through the point (3,2) and (6,2) a write an equation for the line in point-slope form rewrite the equation in standard form usung integers

Answer 1

(3, –2) and (6, 2)First, we must establish slope...m=(y-y1)/(x-x1)m=(-2-2)/(3-6)m=-4/-3m=4/3Point slope formula is...y-y1=m(x-x1)Let's select either coordinate.  I randomly select the first (3, –2)...y--2=4/3(x-3)Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number...y+2=4/3(x-3)This corresponds to the first answer.Standard form...Ax+By=Cy+2=(4/3)x-4y=(4/3)x-6-(4/3)x+y=-6Multiply both sides by 3...-4x+3y=-18This also corresponds to the first answer. How about the second coordinate, (6, 2)...y-y1=m(x-x1)y-2=(4/3)(x-6)Let's convert it into standard form..y-2=(4/3)x-8y=(4/3)x-6-(4/3)x+y=-6Multiply both sides by 3...-4x+3y=-18
