x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "-7 -1 6 7
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( 7 - -1 )/( 6 - -7 )
\n" ); document.write( "( 8 / 13 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= 8/13
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point ( -7,-1) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "-1.00 = -63/7 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -1 - 30/7
\n" ); document.write( "b= -37/13
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = 5/8 x -37/7
\n" ); document.write( "LCD = 56
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 56
\n" ); document.write( "56y=35x-296
