to get the equation of any straight line we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use P and Q here and then let's set the equation in standard form, that is

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{2}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{-3}\implies -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{6})

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3(y-0)~~ = ~~3\left( -\cfrac{2}{3}(x-6) \right)}\implies 3y=-2(x-6) \\\\\\ 3y=-2x+12 \implies \stackrel{a}{2} x+\stackrel{b}{3} y=12

Two different ways to find the difference for 12-3
Gennadij [26K]
For this case we have:

 way 1:
 
Common factor 3 in the expression:
 12-3 = 3 (4-1)

12-3 = 3 (3)

12-3 = 3 (9)

 Way 2:
 
Write the number 12 as the sum of 4 times 3:
 12-3 = (3 + 3 + 3 + 3) - 3

 Then, for associative property:
 12-3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + (3 - 3)

12-3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + (0)

12-3 = 3 + 3 + 3

12-3 = 9
