\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "m=0,(0,-6)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The \"slope intercept\" form of a line is:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m = slope
\n" ); document.write( "b = y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "In this problem they gave you a slope and a point -- plug it into the above formula and solve for 'b'.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "-6 = 0(0) + b
\n" ); document.write( "-6 = b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now, we have:
\n" ); document.write( "m=0
\n" ); document.write( "b=-6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "plug it all back into:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "y = 0x + (-6)
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6 <<--this is your equation
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
