3 x + 1 y = 9
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "make y the subject
\n" ); document.write( "1 y = -3 x + 9
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 1
\n" ); document.write( " y = -3 x + 9
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = -3
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "m= -3 ,point ( 2 , 5 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "5 = -6 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 11
\n" ); document.write( "m= -3
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is, y = -3 x + 11
\n" ); document.write( "
