You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What you are trying to show as given is this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"f%280%29=3\" and \"f%284%29=9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The way you wrote, \"f(0=3, f(4)=9\" is faulty and will fail to render, as it did fail to render.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have two points: (0,3) and (4,9).
\n" ); document.write( "You want the equation for the line defined.
\n" ); document.write( "Form, \"y=mx%2Bb\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%289-3%29%2F%284-0%29=3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=y-mx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Pick either point.
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=3\", which is also OBVIOUS from f(0).
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION: \"highlight%28y=%283%2F2%29x%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
