the slope intercept form of a line is y = mx +b where m is slope and b is the y intercept (where the line crosses the y axis)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "m = -2/3, then
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x/3 + b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we find b by substituting the x and y coordinates of our point
\n" ); document.write( "-3/2 = (-2/3)(-1/2) + b
\n" ); document.write( "-3/2 = 2/6 + b
\n" ); document.write( "note that -3/2 is -9/6
\n" ); document.write( "-9/6 = 2/6 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -11/6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "therefore we have,
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x/3 - 11/6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "our equation of the line is
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = -2x/3 - 11/6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
