Y=mX+b is the line equation where m=slope & b=the Y intercept. \n" ); document.write( "(3,5) and (6,11) \n" ); document.write( "m=(11-5)/(6-3)=6/3=2 is this slope. \n" ); document.write( "Now replace the X & Y terms with one set of values (3,5) & solve for b. \n" ); document.write( "5=2*3+b \n" ); document.write( "5=6+b \n" ); document.write( "b=5-6 \n" ); document.write( "b=-1 is the Y intercept. \n" ); document.write( "y=2x-1 \n" ); document.write( " |
