(-1,5)(2,4)
slope = (4 - 5) / (2 - (-1) = -1/3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
use either of ur points (2,4)...x = 2 and y = 4
now sub and find b, the y int
4 = -1/3(2) + b
4 = -2/3 + b
4 + 2/3 = b
12/3 + 2/3 = b
14/3 = b
so ur equation is : y = -1/3x + 14/3....however, this is not ur answer because it is not in standard form.
y = -1/3x + 14/3
1/3x + y = 14/3....multiply both sides by 3
x + 3y = 14 <=== standard form
I think your suppose to combine like terms to find your answer.... Like for example 5x+2=6x+11
what I did first was combine my x's which is 5x+6x is 11x
then I added 2+11 and that gave me 13 so I put it together and got 11x+13
