\"y+=+mx%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%282%2F3%29x%2Bb\" Plug in the given slope m = 2/3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+%282%2F3%29%286%29%2Bb\" Plug in x = 6 and y = -2 (from the given point (6,-2))\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The goal now is to solve for b.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+12%2F3%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+4%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2-4+=+b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-6+=+b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+-6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation of the line is \"y+=+%282%2F3%29x-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
