Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points
hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (6, 8) and (x2, y2) = (3, 5).
\n" ); document.write( " Slope a is \"a+=+%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29+=+%285-8%29%2F%283-6%29+=+1\".
\n" ); document.write( " Intercept is found from equation \"a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D\", or \"1%2A6+%2Bb+=+2\". From that,
\n" ); document.write( " intercept b is \"b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D\", or \"b=8-1%2A6+=+2\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " y=(1)x + (2)
