You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ex:
\n" ); document.write( "Write the linear equation y=-5x+6;
\n" ); document.write( "ax=-5x
\n" ); document.write( "by=1y
\n" ); document.write( "c=6
\n" ); document.write( "SO your equation would be;
\n" ); document.write( "5x+y=6
\n" ); document.write( "Standard form would be;
\n" ); document.write( "ax+by=c
\n" ); document.write( "5x+y-6=0
\n" ); document.write( "If you know the slope and the y-intercept of a line, you can write the equation of the line in standard form;
\n" ); document.write( "Write a linear equation in standard form for aline that has slope m=3 and y-intersept b=-4;
\n" ); document.write( "Write the equation in slope-intercept form;
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x+-4
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite the equation as a variable expresion equal to zero;
\n" ); document.write( "y-y=3x-y+-4
\n" ); document.write( "0=3x-y+-4
\n" ); document.write( "You always want a to be positive so if necessary, multiply both sides by -1. In this case though a is already positive;
\n" ); document.write( "so we end with;
\n" ); document.write( "3x-y-4=0
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
