You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you need to find the slope;
\n" ); document.write( "m=\"%28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "m=\"%28-3-2%29%2F%281-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "m\"-5%2F-4\"=\"5%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now that we have slope we can plug in the points given to get the y-intercept;
\n" ); document.write( "Y-Y1=m(X-X1)
\n" ); document.write( "y-2=\"5%2F4\"(x-5)
\n" ); document.write( "y=\"5%2F4\"x-5+2
\n" ); document.write( "y=\"5%2F4\"x-3
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
