You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You used the slope intercept form of a line but you don't know the intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Use the formula for slope.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3=%28y-2%29%2F%282-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-2=-9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=-7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
