\n" ); document.write( " standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is \"y+=+highlight%28m%29x+%2B+b+\"
\n" ); document.write( "where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( " \"+y+=+highlight%28+-2%29x+-+10\"
\n" ); document.write( " m = -2 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
