You can put this solution on YOUR website!
just put the equation in the y-intercept form u have shown
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B5y=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y=4-2x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%284%2F5%29%2B%28-2%2F5%29x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28-2%2F5%29x%2B%284%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28m=-2%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "to find b you will need to put the point in the eqaution and solve for b
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=%28-2%2F5%29%286%29%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=%28-12%2F5%29%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2810%2F5%29%2B%2812%2F5%29=b\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%2822%2F5=b%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
