The equation of a line 2013-04-04
From Miranda:
My coordinates provided are (6, 6) and (-8, 9) and i need to put this into ax=bx=c format. I remember the equation to find the slope of y2-y1/x2-x1 to get the slope. However when i put that back into the y=mx+b format it still leaves me with a lot of variables. Please help :)
