x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "0 * -3 5 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( 1 - -3 )/( 5 - 0 )
\n" ); document.write( "( 4 / 5 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= 4/ 5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point ( 0,-3 ) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "-3.00 = 0 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -3 - -0
\n" ); document.write( "b= -3
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = 4/5 x -3
