You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y is always the y-axis.
\n" ); document.write( "x is always the x-axis.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "get y to the left and x to the right in y=mx+b form.
\n" ); document.write( "m = slope
\n" ); document.write( "b = y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( ".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x -y = 3
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 3x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-y = -3x +3
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by -1
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x -3
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the slope = 3
\n" ); document.write( "the y-intercept is (0,-3).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the x-intercept occurs where y=0
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 3x -3
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1
\n" ); document.write( "(1,0)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "with two points you can draw the line.
\n" ); document.write( ".
