Knowing the slope and having one set of coordinates, solve for b, y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Using y = mx+b, m=\"1%2F2\" and (-3, 2),
\n" ); document.write( "2 = \"1%2F2\"-3 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2+\"3%2F2\" = \"%284%2F2%29%2B%283%2F2%29\" = 7/2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "slope-intercept form: y = \"1%2F2\"x + 7/2
\n" ); document.write( "For general form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F2\"x - y + \"7%2F2\" = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the entire equation by 2 to be rid of fractions
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28standard%29\": x - 2y + 7 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Alternatively, using point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "y-2 = \"1%2F2\"(x-(-3)
\n" ); document.write( "y-2 = \"1%2F2\"x + \"3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the entire equation by 2 to be rid of fractions
\n" ); document.write( "2y - 4 = x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "general form: x - 2y + 7 = 0
