f(x) = - 2x -9
\n" ); document.write( "is already in the \"slope-intercept\" form of a line:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "From inspection then, we see that
\n" ); document.write( "m is -2
\n" ); document.write( "b is -9
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "slope is -2
\n" ); document.write( "and the
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept is at (0,-9) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
