Write the slope-intercept equation for the line that passes through (-5, 10) and (-4, 3).
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "solve for \"m\" and \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "m = (10-3)/(-5--4) = 7/-1 = -7
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for y,x,m and solve for \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "3 = -7*-4+b
\n" ); document.write( "3 = 28+b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -25
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7x-25
