You can put this solution on YOUR website!
linear function like
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=10
\n" ); document.write( "same as
\n" ); document.write( "y=10-x or y=(-1/1)x+10
\n" ); document.write( "this is in the slope intercept formula
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "where m= slope and b is y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "m=-1/1
\n" ); document.write( "b=10
\n" ); document.write( "so your starting point is (0,10)
\n" ); document.write( "and to make the other point you go down 1 and to the right 1 (1,9) then draw line through the dots
\n" ); document.write( "________________
\n" ); document.write( "ill make up another example
\n" ); document.write( "2y-10x=20
\n" ); document.write( "put it in slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "2y=10x+20
\n" ); document.write( "y=5x+10
\n" ); document.write( "m=5/1 b=10
\n" ); document.write( "points (0,10) and (1,15)
\n" ); document.write( "__________________
\n" ); document.write( "3y-7x=33
\n" ); document.write( "3y=7x+33
\n" ); document.write( "y=(7/3)x+11
\n" ); document.write( "m=7/3 b=11
\n" ); document.write( "(0,11)(3,18)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
