*Hint: First Use the point-slope formula:
\n" ); document.write( " \"%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29+=+m\"
\n" ); document.write( "to determine the slope of the line
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(0, 0) and (–3, 1)
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281+-+0%29%2F%28-3+-0%29+=+m\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F-3%29+=+m\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-1%2F3%29+=+m\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Then use standard slope-intercept equation of a line:
\n" ); document.write( "y = m*x + b
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28-1%2F3%29x+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute one of the points to find \"b\"
\n" ); document.write( "(0, 0)
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=+%28-1%2F3%29%2A0+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=+b\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%28-1%2F3%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
