Write the slope-intercept form of the equation (5,2) and (-5,6)
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation of a straight line.
\n" ); document.write( "Its standard form: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "slope=∆y/∆x=(6-2)/(-5-5=4/-10=-4/10=-2/5
\n" ); document.write( "equation of line: y=-2x/5+b
\n" ); document.write( "solve for b using one of given points(5,2)
\n" ); document.write( "2=-2*5/5+b
\n" ); document.write( "2=-2+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=4
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2x/5+4 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
