The given points are (4,0) and (0, 9)
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is (change in y)/(change in x)
\n" ); document.write( "slope = \"%289+-+0%29+%2F+%280+-+4%29+=+-9%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "In the form \"y+=+mx+%2B+b\", \"m\" is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "and \"b\" is the y-intercept, so the equation is
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-%289%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "To check the answer, plug in (4,0) and (0,9)
\n" ); document.write( "first,
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+-%289%2F4%29%2A4+%2B+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+-9+%2B+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK, and
\n" ); document.write( "\"9+=+-%289%2F4%29%2A0+%2B+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9+=+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
