The line formula is:
\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b where m=slope & b=the Y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "(-7,-2)and (-1,-3)
\n" ); document.write( "Slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-3+2)/(-1+7)=-1/6 for the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "Now replace X & Y in the line formula & solve for b the Y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "-2=-1/6*-7+b
\n" ); document.write( "-2=7/6+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-2-7/6
\n" ); document.write( "b=-12/6-7/6
\n" ); document.write( "b=-19/6 this is the Y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "y=-x/6-19/6
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-8%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-x%2F6+-19%2F6%29+\" (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -8 to 5, y from -10 to 10, -x/6 -19/6). \n" ); document.write( "
