x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "-1 -6 -4 -7
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( -7 - -6 )/( -4 - -1 )
\n" ); document.write( "( -1 / -3 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= 0.33 1/ 3
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point ( -1 , -6 ) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "-6.00 = -0.33 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -6 -0.33
\n" ); document.write( "b= -5.67
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = 0.33 x -5.67
