m=(-6--5)/(-8--2)
\n" ); document.write( "m=-1/-6
\n" ); document.write( "m=1/6
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "-6=1/6(-8)+b
\n" ); document.write( "-6=-8/6+b
\n" ); document.write( "-6+8/6=b
\n" ); document.write( "-36/6+8/6=b
\n" ); document.write( "-28/6=b
\n" ); document.write( "-4.7=b
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "y=1/6x-4.7 \n" ); document.write( "
