Slope intercept equation (y=mx+b)
\n" ); document.write( "b = y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "m=slope\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-5x + 2y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 5x+10
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5x/2 +10/2
\n" ); document.write( "y= 5x/2 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "slope(m)= 5/2 or -5/-2
\n" ); document.write( "b = 5 (Therefore y=5)
\n" ); document.write( "Lets plot y=5 and m=-5/-2
\n" ); document.write( "I'll start by plotting y=5
\n" ); document.write( "From this point, I go down 5 on the y-axis and over -2 to the left on x-axis:\r
