You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First solve for the slope,
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%285-0%29%2F%280-%28-1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Once you have the slope, use the slope-intercept form of a line.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use either point to solve for \"b\".
\n" ); document.write( "I'll use (0,-5).
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5=m%2A0%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "In this case, I didn't even need to know \"m\" to solve.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=mx-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"m\" and that's the equation of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
