Algebra.Com's Answer #11520 by stanbon!(97)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The line has the form y=mx+b where \"m\" is the slope. \n" ); document.write( "Substitute m=1/4; x=-5; y=-2 to get the following: \n" ); document.write( "-2=(1/4)(-5)+b \n" ); document.write( "-2=(-5/4)+b \n" ); document.write( "Add 5/4 to both sides to get the following: \n" ); document.write( "b=-3/4 \n" ); document.write( "So the equation is y=(1/4)x+(-3/4)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
