You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope Intercept form of a line is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where m=slope, and b=Y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "You are given the slope in the problem, so you know m
\n" ); document.write( "You can figure out the Y-intercept pretty easily from the point that is given. By definition, the Y-intercept of a line occurs when the X coordinate is zero. From the given point, you know that -3 is the Y-intercept (the b in the equation.) Now, just plug in the values, and you are done:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=-4x%2F5-3%29\"$
