You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assuming you mean:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x +3
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Then you can compare this to the slope-intercept form:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m = slope
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept = (0,b)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is 2. The y-intercept is (0,3).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Then you only need one more point to be able to draw a line.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "A good choice to find is the x-intercept, if only because you are often asked to find it.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Set y = 0 and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 2x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "-2x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3/-2 = -3/2
\n" ); document.write( ".
