Addition is the first step for two reasons.
1) the Order of Operations requires you do operations in parentheses first
2) the division cannot be performed until you know what you're dividing
First let us find the slope between the two points.
Slope = Change in y / Change in x.
(3, 6) and (8, 4) compares to (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) = (4 - 6) / (8 - 3) = -2/5
Slope m = -2/5= -0.4
Using y = mx + c, using point (3, 6)
y = -0.4x + c
6 = -0.4*3 + c
6 = -1.2 + c
6 + 1.2 = c
7.2 = c
c = 7.2
Equation = : y = -0.4x +c
y = -0.4x + 7.2
y = -4/10 + 72/10
10y = -4x + 72
5y = -2x + 36
Equation =: 5y = -2x + 36
Hope this explains it.
