\n" ); document.write( "Remember: Finding the Slope: \"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Given points: (3,0)(-1,-5)
\n" ); document.write( "Continuing,
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-5-0%29%2F%28-1-3%29=-5%2F-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28m=5%2F4%29\", SLOPE
\n" ); document.write( "Next, we need to find the intercepts of the line with slope \"m=5%2F4\":
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\", SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
\n" ); document.write( "Thru points (3,0):
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=%285%2F4%293%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-%285%2F4%293=-15%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Thru points (-1,-5):
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5=%285%2F4%29%28-1%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-5%2B%285%2F4%29=%28-20%2B5%29%2F4=-15%2F4\", same y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)=0: thru SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM EQN, either points (3,0) or (-1,-5),
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%285%2F4%29%280%29-15%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=-15%2F4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "f(y)=0:
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=%285%2F4%29x-15%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "See graph below:
\n" ); document.write( "--- thru \"slope=5%2F4\",the line passes thru x & y intercepts (3,-15/4)
