You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(6-(-4)*4=40 IS THE INCREASE IN THE Y VALUE BECAUSE THE LINE HAS A SLOPE OF 4 NOW ADD THE STARTING Y POINT 4 WE HAVE A NEW Y POINT OF 44
\n" ); document.write( "(6,4)(-4,44) HAS A SLOPE OF
\n" ); document.write( "(44-4)/(-4-6)
\n" ); document.write( "40/-10
\n" ); document.write( "-4
\n" ); document.write( "THE LINE EQUATION IS
\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b
\n" ); document.write( "4=-4*6+b
\n" ); document.write( "4=-24+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=4+24
\n" ); document.write( "b=28
\n" ); document.write( "b=6+24
\n" ); document.write( "b=30 THIS IS THE Y INTERCEPT & THE LINE EQUATION IS:
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-4X+28
