You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given the 2 points (-3,5) & (0,-6)
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "(-6-5)/(0+3)=-11/3 is the slope through these 2 points.
\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b where m=slope (-11/3) & b= the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Now replace the X & Y values with one set of X,Y values & solve for the y intercept(b).
\n" ); document.write( "5=-11*-3/3+b
\n" ); document.write( "5=-33/3+b
\n" ); document.write( "5=-11+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=5+11
\n" ); document.write( "b=16 ans. for the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-11X/3+16 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
