E QUATIONS FOR A LINE
                 

                                                                      

  It's Hot in Here and It's Not These Musclemen....It's the                               Equations For A Line!


      HERE ARE 3 WAYS TO WRITE AN EQUATION FOR A LINE:

                    YOU ARE GIVEN THE SLOPE AND 2 COORDINATES:
                   SLOPE:2  COORDINATES: (0,4)

SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM	y=mx+b
M is Slope and B is the y intercept	y=2x+4
STANDARD FORM	ax+by=c
Contains All Variables On One Side- a=slope (Don't Ever have a negative integer has the leading number and kill the fractions!)	2x+y=4
POINT-SLOPE FORM	y-y¸=m(x-x¸ )
x(1) and y(1) are replaced by coordinates of a point on the line---      ¸ is sub one	y-4=2(x-0)
