Let's find the y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "0-3y=6
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-1=5m-2
\n" ); document.write( "1=5m
\n" ); document.write( "1/5=m
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=x%2F5-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y=x-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "-1=5/5-2
\n" ); document.write( "-1=-1
\n" ); document.write( "ok
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
