Write an equation in slope-intercept form that passes through the point
\n" ); document.write( "(-1, 6) and has a slope of 5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, m=slope, and b=y-intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y=5x+b
\n" ); document.write( "solve for b
\n" ); document.write( "use given coordinates,(-1,6)
\n" ); document.write( "6=5(-1)+b
\n" ); document.write( "6=-5+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=11
\n" ); document.write( "equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y=5x+11
\n" ); document.write( "This is a straight line with a slope=5, and y-intercept=11
\n" ); document.write( "To find x-intercept, set y=0, then solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "0=5x+11
\n" ); document.write( "5x=-11
\n" ); document.write( "x=-11/5=-2.2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "see the following graph\r
