So let's start by writing the equation in point slope form. So all we need to do is replace y1 withMoreSo let's start by writing the equation in point slope form. So all we need to do is replace y1 with positive five M with negative 2 and X1 with negative four.
And let's calculate the value of b negative five times negative four that's positive twenty. So weMoreAnd let's calculate the value of b negative five times negative four that's positive twenty. So we have three is equal to twenty over three plus b.

The general form ax+by+c=0 is one of the many different forms you can write linear functions in. Other ones include the slope intercept form y=mx+b or slope-point form. We can convert the linear function among different forms.
If given two points, first find the slope (m) of the line that contains the points. Then write an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) and substitute in the x and y values for one of the points to find the y-intercept (b). Then convert to standard form (Ax+By=C) by subtracting the (mx) term from each side.
To find the slope using a general or standard form equation, use the slope formula: m=-A/B where A and B are integer variables found in the equation. The m is the slope.
Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m(x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept). We can rewrite an equation in point-slope form to be in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, to highlight the same line's slope and y-intercept.
These are the two methods to finding the equation of a line when given a point and the slope: Substitution method = plug in the slope and the (x, y) point values into y = mx + b, then solve for b. Point-slope form = y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 ) , where ( x 1 , y 1 ) is the point given and m is the slope given.
