IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A LINE THROUGH THESE POINTS REPRESEBNTED BY THE FORMULA Y=mX+b THEN THE SLOPE (m) IS (-3+1)/(-2-4) OR -2/-6 OR 3 AND THE Y INTERCEPT IS FOUND BY CHANGING Y BY 1/3 FOR EVERY CHANGE 1 CHANGE IN X. SO -2+2=0 FOR THE X INTERCEPT.
\n" ); document.write( "FOR THE Y INTERCEPT THEN -3+(2*1/3) OR -3+2/3 OR -2 1/3 FOR THE Y INTERCEPT OR USING THE OTHER POINTS WE GET 4-4=0 FOR THE X INTERCEPT AND -1-4(1/3) OR
\n" ); document.write( "-1-4/3 OR -1-1 1/3 OR -2 1/3 FOR THE Y INTERCEPT WHEN X=0. \n" ); document.write( "
