given: the and
we know if we set we got
=>
so, is at point (,)
and
if we set we got
so, is at point (,)

use these two points to find a slope

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (0, 1/7) and (-1/3, 0)



Answer: Slope is



now you have your and that is or just
