I don't know if they teach this in school, but I discovered a quick way to check the answer when you have to find the equation of a line.  First, check to see if the slope is correct.  Then second, substitute the value of x from the given point into your equation, and see if you get the correct y value for the given point.  If so, then it checks!  In your case, it checks!!\r<BR>\n" );
