standard form is ax+by=c
first we use
y-y1=m(x-x1)
a point is (x1,y1)
the slope is m
the slope between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(1,1) and (3,4)
slope=(4-1)/(3-1)=3/2
a oint is (1,1) and slope is 3/2
y-1=3/2(x-1)
y-1=3/2x-3/2
solve for ax+by=c form, a is normally positive and a and b and c are whole numbers
times 2 both sides
2y-2=3x-3
minus 2y
-2=3x-2y-3
add 3
1=3x-2y
3x-2y=2
