Standard form: Y = mX + B\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now B is the Y-intercept so B = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now the equation is \"Y+=+mX+%2B+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "To find the slope of the line (m) we need to set Y = 0, and let X = 2 (The given X-intercept)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+m%2A%282%29+%2B+5\" Subtract 5 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5+=+2m\" Divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28-2.5+=+m%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation of the line is \"Y+=+-2.5X+%2B+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
