FIND THE EQUATION OF THE LINE DETERMINED BY THE GIVEN INFORMATION. 1. M=1; P=(-7,0) 2. P1=(4,-5); P2=(11,2) 3. P1=(0,6); P2=(-2,3) 4. M=2; P=(0,1)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Line equations look like this: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept; it is the value of y when x = 0.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "1. M=1; P=(-7,0)
\n" ); document.write( "You are told the slope is 1 and y = 0 when x = -7
\n" ); document.write( "Put those numbers into y = mx + b to solve for \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 1*-7 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 7
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION: y = x + 7
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2. P1=(4,-5); P2=(11,2) 3. P1=(0,6); P2=(-2,3)
\n" ); document.write( "These cannot be worked because you only have one point to work with
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "4. M=2; P=(0,1)
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 2
\n" ); document.write( "1 = 2*0 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 1
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "=================
