\n" ); document.write( "(3,7) and (2,-1)
\n" ); document.write( "First we get the Slope:
\n" ); document.write( "We solve via: \"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-1-7%29%2F%282-3%29=-8%2F-1=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "Thru Points (3,7):
\n" ); document.write( "Via Point-Slope Form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\" ---->\"7=8%2A3%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=7-24=-17\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, --->\"y=8x-17\"---->\"highlight%28-8x%2By%2B17=0%29\", Standard Form
\n" ); document.write( "We see the graph:
