Graphing a line given a point and slope. Draw /1 through (-4,0) and (0,6).
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "slope = (6-0) / (0--4) = 6/4 = 3/2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "(0,6) is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (3/2)x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "===================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is the slope of any line parallel to /1?
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 3/2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Draw /2 through the origin and parallel to /1
\n" ); document.write( "Thru the origin means the y-intercept is at 0
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (3/2)x + 0
\n" ); document.write( "y = (3/2)x
\n" ); document.write( "====================
