You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need
\n" ); document.write( "(1) y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where the constant m is the slope and the constant b is the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Your problem statment provides
\n" ); document.write( "(2) m = 16
\n" ); document.write( "To get b, substitute the point (2,3) and m into (1) to get
\n" ); document.write( "(2) 3 = 16*2 + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve (2) for b
\n" ); document.write( "(3) b = -29
\n" ); document.write( "Your answer is
\n" ); document.write( "(4) y = 16x - 29
\n" ); document.write( "To check let (x,y) = (2,3)
\n" ); document.write( "Is (3 = 16*2 -29)?
\n" ); document.write( "Is (3 = 32 - 29)?
\n" ); document.write( "Is (3 = 3)? Yes
\n" ); document.write( "There is another technique to obtain (4) from m and the point (2,3).
\n" ); document.write( "Use
\n" ); document.write( "(5) (y - 3) = 16*(x - 2)
\n" ); document.write( "Simplifying (5) yields
\n" ); document.write( "(6) y = 16x -29, which is the same as (4)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
