Question

How do you solve the math equation
y-y=m(x-x)
for when you have to find the equation for an in and out table?

Answer 1

First of its y-y1 = m(x-x1)
m is the slope, what it is increasing by. 
y1 is the y intercept of your pair. 
X1 is the x intercept of your coordinate pair, plug them in. If you dont know slope the formula to find it is:
y2-y1/x2-x1
