write an equation in standard form with integer coefficents for the line with slope 13/2 going through the point (-6,-3).

** The equation of the line is _x-_y=_***

:?: For writing the equation of a line, have you learned the Point-Slope formula ?

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

You can use that to write an equation for the line because they've given you the slope (m = 13/2) and a point (x1 = -6 and y1 = -3).

Then, use the Distributive Property to get rid of the parentheses, move the y-term to the right, multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction, and combine constants on the left.

The equation will then be in the form C = Ax - By, so you can read of the values of A, B, and C.

If you would like more help, please ask specific questions or show what you're doing.
