x-intercept = -8 y-intercept = 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=m+x+%2B+b\"$ is the form where $\"m\"$ is the slope, and $\"b\"$ is the $\"y\"$ intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to get from the $\"y-intercept\"$ $\"5\"$ to the $\"x-intercept\"$ $\"-8\"$ , you have a rise of $\"5\"$ and a run of $\"-8\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"$ \r
