I understand that y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "5= -2(-1)+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=3 right??
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "That's right. Now you know the slope, m and the y-int, b
\n" ); document.write( "So y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x + 3 is the equation of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Pick 2 values for x and find y
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0, y = 3 --> (0,3)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3, y = 0 --> (3,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plot the two points, draw a line thru them
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
