slope-intercept form is:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y=14.7(x-20)+130.6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute the 14.7 to terms inside the parenthesis:
\n" ); document.write( "y=14.7x - 14.7(20) + 130.6
\n" ); document.write( "y=14.7x - 294 + 130.6
\n" ); document.write( "y=14.7x - 163.4 (this is what they're looking for)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "where:
\n" ); document.write( "slope (m) is 14.7
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept is at (0, -163.4) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
