to write this equation we need the slope which is $\"DELTA%28y%29%2FDELTA%28x%29\"$ =change in y over change in x=rise/run=m=slope
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "9-0/0-10=-9/10=m(slope)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "now choose any point on the line and use the point slope formula. I choose (0,9)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y-9=(-9/10)(x-0)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y-9=-9/10x.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y=-9/10x+9 (slope intercept form) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
