\n" ); document.write( "First we get the slope of line with points (2,3) & (1,5):
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%285-3%29%2F%281-2%29=2%2F%28-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=-2\", slope
\n" ); document.write( "Knowing the slop, we can get the intercept in point (1,1):
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\", SLOPE- INTERCEPT
\n" ); document.write( "\"1=-2%281%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=1%2B2=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "so, the eqn of the line: \"highlight%28y=-2x%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The line with points (2,3) & (1,5): same slope because parallel, we'll check
\n" ); document.write( "VIA POINT SLOPE FORM:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%285-3%29%2F%281-2%29=2%2F-1\" ----> \"m=-2\", same right?
\n" ); document.write( "For the intercept thru pints (2,3):
\n" ); document.write( "Via SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM, we pick points (2,3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"3=-2%282%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=3%2B4=7\" ----> y intercept. The same value if you pick points (1,5).
\n" ); document.write( "Eqn of line: \"y=-2x%2B7\" (Green line) parallel to \"y=-2x%2B3\" (Red line)
\n" ); document.write( "See the graph,
\n" ); document.write( " --- see red line, it passes at point (1,1). Also green line passes points (2,3) & (1,5)
\n" ); document.write( "Thank you,
