x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "4 6 6 12
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "m= -0.25 => - 1/ 4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point (-1 ,8) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "8.00 = 0.25 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 8 -0.25
\n" ); document.write( "b= 7.75
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = -0.25 x + 7.75
