x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "-2 -2 8 8
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( 8 - -2 )/( 8 - -2 )
\n" ); document.write( "( 10 / 10 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point ( -2,-2 ) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "-2.00 = -2 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -2 - -2
\n" ); document.write( "b= 0
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
