Find the slope and the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "2 - $\"1%2F5\"$ y = 5x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We want the equation in the slope/intercept form
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2 from both sides and you have
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F5\"$ y = 5x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the denominator
\n" ); document.write( "1y = 5(5x) - 5(2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = 25x - 10
\n" ); document.write( ":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The slope is 25
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is (0,-10) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
