(-1,-3), (2,-1)
\n" ); document.write( "first,we find the \"Slope=m\" thru given points:
\n" ); document.write( "Via Slope Form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "where--->\"system%28y%5B2%5D=-1%2Cy%5B1%5D=-3%2Cx%5B2%5D=2%2Cx%5B1%5D=-1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-1-%28-3%29%29%2F%282-%28-1%29%29=%28-1%2B3%29%2F%282%2B1%29=2%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then, thru points (-1,-3): Via Slope-Intercept--->\"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3=%282%2F3%29%28-1%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3=%28-2%2F3%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-3%2B%282%2F3%29=%28-9%2B2%29%2F3=-7%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%282%2F3%29x-%287%2F3%29\".--->\"y-%282%2F3%29x=-7%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283y-2x%29%2F3=-7%2F3\"-->\"3y-2x=3%2A%28-7%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%283y-2x%2B7=0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "ROUND-OFF
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=1x-2\"--->\"-x%2By%2B2=0\", Standard form
