Question

write an equation in standard form for the line that passes through the given points. (6,0) and (0,8)

Answer 1

slope = m = (8 - 0) / (0 - 6) = - 4/3
so
y = -(4/3) x + b
put a point in like (0,8)
8 = 0 + B
b = 8
so
y= -(4/3) x + 8
or
3 y = -4 x + 24
=============
check, put in (6,0)
3(0) = -(4/3) (6) + 8 ???
0 = -8 + 8 sure enough

Answer 2

in standard form
4x+3y = 24
