how do I solve
\n" ); document.write( "m = -5/7,(4,2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You don't really \"solve\" it... rather, you can derive the equation for the line where:
\n" ); document.write( "m (slope) is -5/7
\n" ); document.write( "and it crosses point (4,2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "plug given info into the \"point-slope\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 2 = (-5/7)(x - 4)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 2 = (-5/7)x + 20/7
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/7)x + 20/7 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/7)x + 20/7 + 14/7
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/7)x + 34/7 (this is what they're looking for)\r
