x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "2 0 4 -5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( -5 - 0 )/( 4 - 2 )
\n" ); document.write( "( -5 / 2 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= -5/ 2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point (2, 0) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "0.00 = -5 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 0 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "b= -5
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = -5/2x-5
