Add like terms first,
2m = 48 + 16
2m = 64
m = 64/2
m = 32
If you measure the amount of water before and after putting the object in the body of water and finding the difference between the two measurements you can approximate the volume of the irregularly shaped solid
First you need to find the slope, which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug the points in as (1-4)/(-1-1) -> -3/-2
The slope is 3/2, or 1.5
Point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Plug in the slope (m) and the first point
y-4 = 1.5(x-1) <-- That's point slope form
To get standard form (ax+by=c), you can use point slope form
y - 4 = 1.5(x - 1)
y - 4 = 1.5x - 1.5
y = 1.5x + 2.5
-1.5x + y = 2.5 <-- Standard Form
