Answer:

6x - 5y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Your FIRST goal is to fill out y = mx + b with the values of m (your slope) and b (your y-intercept). First, find m by dividing the change in y in the two points given by their change in x. (43 - 31)/(35-25) = 12/10 = 6/5. Plug this in immediately for a "placeholder equation" of y = 6/5x + b, which you can plug either of your points into and solve for b.

43 = 6/5(35) + b

43 = 42 + b

1 = b

Your SLOPE-INTERCEPT equation is y = 6/5x + 1. However, you were asked for standard form. This means you must convert into ax + by = c, where a b and c are all whole numbers, and a is positive.

y = 6/5x + 1

-6/5x + y = 1

6/5x - y = -1

6x - 5y = -5, and this is your final answer.
