You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you have to find the equation of the line then you can find any point. Use the point slope formula which states y-k=m(x-h) where m is the slope and (h,k) is any point on the line

\n" ); document.write( "y-3=2(x-(-1))
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y-3=2x+2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x+5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "now just choose any value of x or y and solve for the unknown...I choose x=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y=2(0)+5--->y=5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so for x=0,y=5--->point(0,5) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
