You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "with a slope of 2 we now have
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x+b
\n" ); document.write( "since the point is (0,-1)
\n" ); document.write( "we plug them in and solve for b
\n" ); document.write( "-1=2(0)+b
\n" ); document.write( "-1=b
\n" ); document.write( "so now we have y=2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "so now we just plug in the ordered pairs to see which give equalities\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2, 1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "1=2*2-1
\n" ); document.write( "1=4-1
\n" ); document.write( "1=3
\n" ); document.write( "not on the line\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1, 1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "1=2*1-1
\n" ); document.write( "1=2-1
\n" ); document.write( "1=1 yes on the line\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(0, 1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "1=2*0-1
\n" ); document.write( "1=-1
