Slope - intercept form of a line is:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Starting with (I'll assume you mean):
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-%281%2F2%29x+%2B+%281%2F2%29y=5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Start, by multiplying both sides by 2:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-x+%2B+y=10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, add x to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y=x%2B10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "That's it you're done.
\n" ); document.write( "m is 1
\n" ); document.write( "b is 10 or at (0,10)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
