You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember that the slope-intercept form is \"y=mx%2Bb\". On these, you just have to find \"m\" and \"b\". Also remember that \"m+=+%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let's find \"m\" for your first problem:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%28-4--2%29%2F%283-6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%28-2%29%2F-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+2%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ok, now we have to find \"b\". Our equation so far is \"y+=+%282%2F3%29x+%2B+b\". If we plug one of the points (doesn't matter which one...) in for \"x\" and \"y\", we can solve for \"b\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%282%2F3%29x+%2B+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plugging in (3,-4)
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4=%282%2F3%29%283%29%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4=2%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-6+=+b\"
\n" ); document.write( "Alright. Our equation is \"y+=+%282%2F3%29m+-+6\"!!!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There. I did the first one. You can do the second one
