Y=mX+b WHERE m=SLOPE & b=Y INTERCEPT.
\n" ); document.write( "REPLACE X & Y WITH THE VALUES 3 & 6 & REPLACE m WITH 2/3 & SOLVE FOR b.
\n" ); document.write( "6=2/3*3+b
\n" ); document.write( "6=2+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=6-2
\n" ); document.write( "b=4 ANSWER FOR THE Y INTERCEPT. THUS THE LINE FORMULA IS:
\n" ); document.write( "Y=2X/3+4. THE GRAPH FOLLOWS: $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+2x%2F3+%2B4%29+\"$ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 2x/3 +4). \n" ); document.write( "
