Convert to slope intercept form, \"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B3y=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=-x%2B9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2F3%29x%2B3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Slope : \"m=-1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Y-intercept : \"b=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
