You are asked to find the equation of the line in the form \"y+=+mx+%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "You are given the slope \"m=-1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "You are given a point that is not the y intercept (b).
\n" ); document.write( "So you need to find b. The point b is (0,b)
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1%2F2+=+%28-6+-+b%29%2F%286+-+0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3+=+-%286%2Bb%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3+=+6+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3+=+b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28-1%2F2%29x+-+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
