You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the slope is defined as m and it is \"m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\" which becomes \"m=%28-1-9%29%2F%281-6%29=-10%2F-2=5\" and then we use the formula of \"y-y1=m%28x-x1%29\" which becomes \"y-9=2%28x-6%29\" which becomes \"y-9=2x-12\" and then \"y=2x-12%2B9\" which is \"y=2x-3\" and if you check the points for the x and the y, you will see that the line is true at those points. \n" ); document.write( "
