The slope-intercept form is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The points are (2,0) and (0,5)
\n" ); document.write( "I can write an equation for each point:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"0+=+m%2A2+%2B+b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"5+=+m%2A0+%2B+b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "From (2), $\"b=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"0+=+2m+%2B+5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"2m+=+-5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"m+=+-5%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The equation is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%28-5%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+5\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
