-x - y = -2 [Solve for y]
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b [Use the slope-intercept format]
\n" ); document.write( "y = any y value on the line
\n" ); document.write( "m = the slope of the line
\n" ); document.write( "x = any corresponding x value on the line
\n" ); document.write( "b = the y-interceprt (0, b). The point were the line crosses the y-axis.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Slope = m = -1
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept: Use points (x, 0):
\n" ); document.write( "(0) = -x +2 [Plug-in (y=0)]
\n" ); document.write( "-2=-x [Solve for x]
\n" ); document.write( "2=x
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept = (2, 0)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept: Use points (0, b)
\n" ); document.write( "y = -(0) + 2 [Plug in (x = 0)]
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2 [solve for y]
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept = (0, 2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Points of intercept: (2, 0) and (0, 2)
