Answer:

y=1/2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find slope... (y2-y1)/x2-x1–> (-4-(-1))/-2-4=-3/-6=1/2

2) Pick a coordinate and plug into equation y-y1=m(x-x1)—> y-(-1)=1/2(x-4)

3) Simplify to make y alone —> y=1/2x-3

What is the simplified form of ?

Natalija [7]

Let's set it up like this:
$\frac{\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{4}}{\frac{x}{4}+\frac{y}{3}}$
Find the LCD, which is 12, and adjust them according to that.
$=\frac{\frac{4x-3y}{12}}{\frac{3x+4y}{12}}$
Divide.
$=\frac{\left(4x-3y\right)\cdot \:12}{12\left(3x+4y\right)}$
Cancel the common factor, which is 12.
$=\frac{4x-3y}{3x+4y}$
That would be our answer!

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this problem!
Thanks!
