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) = (-5, 0) and (x2, y2) = (0, 0.8).
\n" ); document.write( " Slope a is \"a+=+%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29+=+%280.8-0%29%2F%280--5%29+=+0.16\".
\n" ); document.write( " Intercept is found from equation \"a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D\", or \"0.16%2A-5+%2Bb+=+0.8\". From that,
\n" ); document.write( " intercept b is \"b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D\", or \"b=0-0.16%2A-5+=+0.8\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " y=(0.16)x + (0.8)
