\n" ); document.write( "Given: (3,-12) and (-4,2)
\n" ); document.write( "Via Point-Slope Form: \"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "where\"system%28y%5B2%5D=2%2Cy%5B1%5D=-12%2Cx%5B2%5D=-4%2Cx%5B1%5D=3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%282-%28-12%29%29%2F%28-4-3%29=%282%2B12%29%2F-7=14%2F-7=-2\" Slope
\n" ); document.write( "Then via point (3,-12) thru Slope-Intercept\"y=mx%2Bb\":
\n" ); document.write( "\"-12=-2%283%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-12%2B6=-6\", Y-Intercept
\n" ); document.write( "Via point (-4,2):
\n" ); document.write( "\"2=-2%28-4%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=2-8=-6\", the same (should be)
\n" ); document.write( "Then it follows-----> \"highlight%28y=-2x-6%29\", or \"highlight%282x%2By=-6%29\" Std Form
\n" ); document.write( "We'll see the graph:
