What does \"P\" stand for when your reading a graphing equations?
\n" ); document.write( "EX: P(3,1); slope 2
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Between quadrants 1 and 4 is 5y between quadrant 2 and 3 is 5x. Center of all quadrents is (0,0).
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "The \"P\" means point.
\n" ); document.write( "You are told the line goes thru point (3,1) and the slope is 2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute and solve for \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "1 = 2*3 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -5
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation: y = 2x-5
\n" ); document.write( "-----
