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
Answer:
6. 1.01 x -10^5
7. 6 x -10^14
8. 550,000
9. 60,700,000
10. 0.000204
11. 0.0004
12. 7,000,000,000,000 > 3,500,000,000
7,000,000,000,000 (or 7 x 10^12) is greater by 2,000 times
15. 10^3 and 10^4
