You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First step is always finding the slope
\n" ); document.write( "\"slope+=+%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%2F%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29\" use this formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"%280-6%29%2F%28-7-7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-6/-14 simplify
\n" ); document.write( "3/7 <- this is your slope
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "now your going to plug in your slope and one of your points into the Point Slope Form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-y%5B1%5D%29=slope%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-6%29=%283%2F7%29%28x-7%29\" multiply both sides by 7 to get rid of fractions
\n" ); document.write( "7y-42=3(x-7)
\n" ); document.write( "7y-42=3x-21 add 42 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "7y=3x+21 standard form is ax+by=c so just arrange this around
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-7y=-21\" <- Standard Form
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y to get slope-intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "7y=3x+21 divide by 7
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%283%2F7%29x%2B3\" <-Slope-intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
