find an equation for the line with the given properties express in slope intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "p=(-1,3) q=(1,0)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"m\" and \"b\"::
\n" ); document.write( "m = (3-0)/(-1-1) = -3/2
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "0 = (-3/2)(1) + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 3/2
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-3/2)x + (3/2)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
