Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Here is how to find the equation of the line that goes through these two points.
\n" ); document.write( "(2,14) and (1,7)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "STEP I: Find the slope of the line. The slope m is the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%287-14%29%2F%281-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-7%29%2F%28-1%29=7\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the line is 7.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "STEP II: Use the point-slope form to find an equation. You can use either point; I'll use (2,14).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-14=7%28x-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-14=7x-14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=7x\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Simplifies, the equation of the line is y=7x.
\n" ); document.write( ".
