\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "Ordered pairs: (10,10),(15,20),(20,30),(25,40),(30,40),(35,50)
\n" );
document.write( "(15,20)
\n" );
document.write( "(10,10)  m = 10/5 = 2  and 
\n" );
document.write( "y = 2x + b  
\n" );
document.write( "10 = 2*10 + b
\n" );
document.write( "-10 = b    |y = 2x -10
\n" );
document.write( " 1) (For the 1st 4 ordered pairs y =2x-10 works)..however NOT for the last two
\n" );
document.write( "These ordered pairs do not have a linear relationship  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
