\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"-%28x-5%29%2F12\"$ + 2 = - $\"1%2F12\"$ x + $\"29%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is the slope intercept form of the given st. line.
\n" ); document.write( "Ans.: The slope is - $\"1%2F12\"$ and length of its intercept on x-axis is $\"29%2F12\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
