So you have everything you need in the equation itself (yay, no extra work!). So just plug in 1/2 for m and get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=y=%281%2F2%29x%2Bb ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"y=%281%2F2%29x%2Bb\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  Then plug in 9 for b, since a point is (0,9). You see that y=9 when x=0. So you should get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=y=%281%2F2%29x%2B9 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"y=%281%2F2%29x%2B9\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  This is your answer in slope intercept form. </SPAN>\n" );
