standard_description: Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
problem_activity: Identify the slope and
$$y$$
-intercept of the equation
$$12x-8y=24$$
.
Then graph the line that represents the equation.
