\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b
\n" ); document.write( "m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(5+3)/(-1-5)=8/-6=-4/3 is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "-3=-4/3*5+b
\n" ); document.write( "-3=-20/3+b

\n" ); document.write( "b=(-3*3+20)/3
\n" ); document.write( "b=(-9+20)/3
\n" ); document.write( "b=11/3 is the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "y=-4x/3+11/3 is the line equation.
