- \(35x + 18y = $25,700\)
- Slope: \(\dfrac{9-7}{12-8}\) = \(\dfrac{2}{4}\)=\(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
- Using the point \((2, 4)\)
- In Slope-Intercept Form:
\[\begin{align} y-4 &=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-2) \\\\ y-4&=\dfrac{1}{2}x-1\\\\y &=\dfrac{1}{2}x+3\end{align}\]
- In Standard Form:
\[\begin{align}y &=\dfrac{1}{2}x+3\\\\ 2y&=x+6\\\\x-2y&=-6\end{align}\]
- Slope: \(\dfrac{6-18}{4-(-2)}\) = \(\dfrac{-12}{6}\)= \(-2\)
- Using the point \((4,6)\)
- In Slope-Intercept Form:
\[\begin{align}y-6&=-2(x-4)\\\\y-6&=-2x+8\\\\y&=-2x+14\end{align}\]
- In Standard Form:
\[\begin{align}y&=-2x+14\\\\2x+y&=14\end{align}\]
