You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope intercept form in general is $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$ . Point slope form in general is $\"y-y_1=m%28x-x_1%29\"$ given the slope m and a point (x_1, y_1). You'll want to distribute the slope m.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y_1=mx-mx_1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Isolate the y term by adding y_1 to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx-mx_1%2By_1\"$ . And we're done. You can convert backwards by doing the steps backwards, but inverting the operations. \n" ); document.write( "
