You can put this solution on YOUR website!
They can all be worked the same way.
\n" ); document.write( "Use the form y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "You are told what x,y, and m are
\n" ); document.write( "solve for \"b\"
\n" ); document.write( "write the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Example:
\n" ); document.write( "(5,-1) m=2,
\n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "-1 = 2*5 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -11
\n" ); document.write( "Equation is y = 2x-11
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(-2,6) m=1
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "6 = 1*-2 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 8
\n" ); document.write( "y = x + 8
\n" ); document.write( "===========================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " (-7,8) m=-3
\n" ); document.write( "8 = -3*7+b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 29
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x+29
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Got it ??
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
