Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Here are the steps to find the equation of the line passing through points P(4,6)P(4, 6) and S(−4,0)S(-4, 0) and express it in the requested forms.

  1. Calculate the slope (mm) of the line.

    The formula for the slope is m=y2−y1x2−x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.
    Using P(4,6)P(4, 6) as (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and S(−4,0)S(-4, 0) as (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2):

    m=0−6−4−4=−6−8=34m = \frac{0 - 6}{-4 - 4} = \frac{-6}{-8} = \frac{3}{4}
  2. Find the equation of the line in the form y=mx+cy = mx + c.

    Using the slope m=34m = \frac{3}{4} and point S(−4,0)S(-4, 0):

    y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) y−0=34(x−(−4))y - 0 = \frac{3}{4}(x - (-4)) y=34(x+4)y = \frac{3}{4}(x + 4) y=34x+34×4y = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{3}{4} \times 4 y=34x+3y = \frac{3}{4}x + 3

    This is the equation in the form y=mx+cy = mx + c.

    y=34x+3\boxed{y = \frac{3}{4}x + 3}
  3. Express the equation in the form $
