You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Note: is the first point (3, -6) and is the second point (7, y)\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\" Start with the slope formula \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7=%28y-%28-6%29%29%2F%287-3%29\" Plug in \"m=7\" (the given slope) \"y%5B2%5D=y\", \"y%5B1%5D=-6\", \"x%5B2%5D=7\", and \"x%5B1%5D=3\" (the coordinates of the given points)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7=%28y%2B6%29%2F%287-3%29\" Rewrite \"y-%28-6%29\" as \"y%2B6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7=%28y%2B6%29%2F%284%29\" Subtract\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2A4=y%2B6\" Multiply both sides by 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"28=y%2B6\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"28-6=y\" Subtract 6 from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"22=y\" Combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is \"y=22\"
