x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "0 * 2 -4 5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( 5 - 2 )/( -4 - 0 )
\n" ); document.write( "( 3 / -4 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= - 3/ 4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point ( 0 , 2 ) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "2.00 = -0 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 2 - -0
\n" ); document.write( "b= 2
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = - 3/4 x + 2
