\n" ); document.write( " the point-slope form to find the equation of the line:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$ where $\"m\"$ is a slope and $\"b\"$ is y-intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if given
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "point ( $\"-12\"$ , $\"+2\"$ ) and $\"m+=-1%2F3\"$ , then we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=-%281%2F3%29%28-12%29%2Bb\"$ ...solve for $\"b\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=%281%2Fcross%283%291%29%28cross%2812%294%29%2Bb\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2=4%2Bb\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2-4=b\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=-2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, your equation is $\"y=-%281%2F3%29x-2\"$ \r
