You can put this solution on YOUR website!
TO CALCULATE THE SLOPE BETWEEN TWO POINTS (1,4)&(2,7) YOU MAKE A FRACTION THUS
\n" ); document.write( "(Y2-Y1)(X2-X1) OR
\n" ); document.write( "(7-4)/(2-1)=3/1=3 FOR THE SLOPE
\n" ); document.write( "TO VERIFY THAT THE THESE THREE POINTS ARE ON THE SAME LINE WE CALCULATE THE SLOPE OF TWO OTHER POINTS THUS
\n" ); document.write( "(10-4)/(3-1)=6/2=3 SAME SLOPE THUS THEY ARE ON THE SAME LINE
\n" ); document.write( "NOW PLOT THE THREE POINTS AND DRAW A LINE THROUGHT THEM.
\n" ); document.write( "THE EQUATION FOR THE LINE IS\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b WHERE m=THE SLOPE OF 3 SO
\n" ); document.write( "Y=3X+b NOW SUBSTITUTE ANY OF THE THREE POINTS FOR THE Y & X VALUES IN THIS EQUATION AND SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT(b). THUS\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7=3*2+b
\n" ); document.write( "7=6+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=7-6
\n" ); document.write( "b=1 FOR THE Y INTERCEPT (0,1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
