We'll see shortly:
\n" ); document.write( "At points (-1,-4), and consider other points (0,0):
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"Slope=4\", \"m\"
\n" ); document.write( "Thru points (-1,-4):
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\", slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4=%28-1%294%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4%2B4=0=b\", y-intercept=0:
\n" ); document.write( "Then, the line eqn follows: \"y=4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "-->(y)=4x ---> points (-1,-4)
\n" ); document.write( "If (y)=(1/2)(x), then,
\n" ); document.write( " --->(y)=(1/2)x ----> points (-1,-1/2), ANSWER
