\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( -9 - -4 )/( -1 - -7 )
\n" ); document.write( "( -5 / 6 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= - 5/ 6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point (-7 ,-4) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "-4.00 = 35/6 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -4 - 35/6
\n" ); document.write( "b= -59/ 6
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
