The line will have the same slope as $\"+y+=+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+-+3%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so, the slope will be $\"+1%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The line passes through ( 2,4 )
\n" ); document.write( "I can write the general point-slope formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+-+4+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+2+%29+=+1%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%28+y+-+4+%29+=+x+-+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2y+-+8+=+x+-+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2y+=+x+%2B+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is $\"+1%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "Does it go through ( 2,4 ) ?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4+=+%281%2F2%29%2A2+%2B+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4+=+1+%2B+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4+=+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
