STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given points are (6,1)(6,1) and (10,6)(10,6). The slope of a line passing through two points (x1,y1)(x1, y1) and (x,y)(x, y) is given by m=yy1xx1m = \frac{y - y1}{x - x1}
3. The point-slope form of the equation of a line is yy1=m(xx1)y - y1 = m(x - x1)4. The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y=mx+by = mx + b
5. The standard form of the equation of a line is Ax+By=CAx + By = C, where A,B,A, B, and CC are integers, and AA and BB are not both zero.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the slope of the line that passes through the given points. We can do this by using the formula for the slope.
m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the points to calculate the slope.
m=61106m = \frac{6 -1}{10 -6}

STEP 4

Calculate the slope.
m=61106=4m = \frac{6 -1}{10 -6} = \frac{}{4}

STEP 5

Now that we have the slope, we can find the point-slope form of the equation of the line. We can do this by using the formula for the point-slope form.
yy1=m(xx1)y - y1 = m(x - x1)

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the slope and one of the points to calculate the point-slope form of the equation of the line.
y1=54(x6)y -1 = \frac{5}{4}(x -6)

STEP 7

Now that we have the point-slope form of the equation of the line, we can find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line. We can do this by solving the point-slope form for yy.
y=54(x6)+1y = \frac{5}{4}(x -6) +1

STEP 8

implify the equation to get the slope-intercept form.
y=54x154+1y = \frac{5}{4}x - \frac{15}{4} +1y=54x114y = \frac{5}{4}x - \frac{11}{4}

STEP 9

Now that we have the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line, we can find the standard form of the equation of the line. We can do this by rearranging the slope-intercept form to the standard form.
4y=5x114y =5x -11

STEP 10

Rearrange the equation to get the standard form.
5x4y=5x -4y =(A) The slope of the line is 54\frac{5}{4}. (B) The point-slope form of the equation of the line is y=54(x6)y - = \frac{5}{4}(x -6). (C) The slope-intercept form of the equation of the line is y=54x4y = \frac{5}{4}x - \frac{}{4}. (D) The standard form of the equation of the line is 5x4y=5x -4y =.
