Finding the equation for a line is not always easy. That was the part I struggled with, but the slope was just fine.
To find the equation of a line, you start at a point. Remember, rise over run. I remember which is which by: rise is going up and when we run, we run across the grass. Then you add the distance from the y-axis. This will now be your equation.
The Rise over run will be represented as a fraction. for example, if the rise is 5 and the run is 8, it will look like this: 5/8. Then, lets say that the _distance from the y-axis is 5. The finished equation will look like this: y=5/8+5. It's not very difficult when you get the hang of it, but I obviously haven't.
