\n" );
document.write( "\"m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29\"

\n" );
document.write( "\"m+=%28100%29%2F%2820%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "m = 5 where Y =  mx + b
\n" );
document.write( "Y = 5x + b
\n" );
document.write( "1500 = 5*150 + b
\n" );
document.write( "750 = b
\n" );
document.write( "Y = 5x + 750 would be the supply equation
\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "1600 = 5*170 + 750 = 850 + 750  \n" );
