(-5/4 , 1) (-1/4 , 3/4)
\n" ); document.write( "are two pairs of (x,y) points on a line:
\n" ); document.write( "(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Slope between two point is:
\n" ); document.write( "(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "plug in the given values:
\n" ); document.write( "(3/4 - 1)/(-1/4 - (-5/4))
\n" ); document.write( "(3/4 - 4/4)/(-1/4 + 5/4)
\n" ); document.write( "(-1/4)/(4/4)
\n" ); document.write( "(-1)/(4)
\n" ); document.write( "-1/4 (slope) of line
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Plug the newly found slope (-1/4) and one of the two given points (-5/4, 1) into the \"point-slope\" form of a line:
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = (-1/4)(x - (-5/4))
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = (-1/4)(x + 5/4)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 1 = (-1/4)x - 5/16
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/4)x - 5/16 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/4)x - 5/16 + 16/16
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/4)x + 11/16 (this is what they're looking for in \"slope-intercept\" form)\r
