Wow thats Good.
Stuff came right out of the refrigerator. Hard to burn it in there.

Do we... try to get x by itself?

Nope!
Same form right?

Oh yes, it is! I didn't even notice till just now!
Wait... but one is subtraction and the other is addition, do we need to change that?

Nope! Subtraction can be thought of as addition of a negative number.
7 - 5 is the same as 7 + (-5).
Now what is m in the second formula? Where did she go?

y = 7/2 - 2
m is the slope right?

Yes, m is the slope so what is it here?

7/2x?

m*x and m is the slope. So for ( 7 / 2 ) x the slope is 7 / 2

Oh... wow. I was all intimidated by that one for nothing!
I think I get this, have a few like that, may I post my answers for them here so you can make sure I am doing them correctly?

Mmkay.
Find the slope of the line whose equation is 7y = 3x + 1
This one is already in y = mx + b
So 7y = 3x + 1
7y/7 = 3x/7 + 1/7
y = 3/7(x) + 1/7
So the slope is 3/7, right?

That is correct, very good! More! More!

Really? Yay!
Alright.
Find the slope of the line whose equation is px - qy = r
px - qy = r
qy = px - r
qy/q = px/q - r/q
y = p/q(x) - r/q
slope equals p/q, right?

That is correct, very good. Now take your general equation for a straight line in 2D and find the slope.

you mean ax = by = c?

Ax + By = C, yes.

Hi guys.
Hi Sarah;
I hope you did not see that disgusting pig and his posts. I could not get to them in time.
How are you?

Pig? Did someone violate the rules?
(Sorry for the delay)
So if we are using Ax + By = C, do you want to use the previous equation; px + qy = r?
