x-2y=6
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=-x+6
\n" ); document.write( "y=-x/-2+6/-2
\n" ); document.write( "y=x/2-3 this line has a slope=1/2
\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b is the line equation.
\n" ); document.write( "Now replace y with (4) & x with (1) & solve for b the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "4=1/2+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=4-1/2
\n" ); document.write( "b=3.5 the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "y=x/2+3.5 This is the equation of the line with a slope=1/2 & passing through the point (1,4)
