\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "I.Use the point-slope formula,  to find slope
\n" );
document.write( "II. then use Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line 
\n" );
document.write( "y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept to start the process
\n" );
document.write( "by substituting slope value found for m
\n" );
document.write( "III. use on the the ordered pairs to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "IV. substitute that  value found for b in the equation 
\n" );
document.write( "For ex: Points (1,1)(5,6)  m = 5/4
\n" );
document.write( " y = (5/4)x + b
\n" );
document.write( " 1 = (5/4) + b
\n" );
document.write( " (-1/4) = b  therefore:  y = (4/5)x -1/4
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
