You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Graph the y-intercept (0,-2).
\n" ); document.write( "Then use the slope to find another point, starting at the intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Slope= $\"%28DELTA%2Ay%29%2F%28DELTA%2Ax%29=-1%2F5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So a change in x of 5 will give a change in y of -1.
\n" ); document.write( "Starting from the y-intercept,
\n" ); document.write( "X: $\"0%2B5=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Y: $\"-2-1=-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "( $\"5\"$ , $\"-3\"$ ) is another point on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "
