write the slope intercept of the line ( 7,-10) slope -3/4.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The \"slope intercept\" form of a line is
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "(x,y) are points along that line
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Your problem gives you:
\n" ); document.write( "one point: at ( 7,-10)
\n" ); document.write( "m = -3/4
\n" ); document.write( "Simply plug in the above and solve for b:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "-10 = (-3/4)(7) + b
\n" ); document.write( "-40 = (-3)(7) + 4b
\n" ); document.write( "-40 = (-21) + 4b
\n" ); document.write( "-19 = 4b
\n" ); document.write( "-19/4 = b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Our equation is then:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/4)x - 19/4 (this is what they're looking for) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
