\n" );
document.write( "I. find slope  m =
\n" );

\n" );
document.write( "(-1,-3   m = 22/2 = 11
\n" );
document.write( "II.  Use y = mx + b and P(1,19)
\n" );
document.write( "  y = 11x + b
\n" );
document.write( "  19 = (11)(1) + b  Substitute  x and y values from P(1,19)
\n" );
document.write( " 19-11 = b
\n" );
document.write( " 8 = b
\n" );
document.write( "Then
\n" );
document.write( " y = 11x + 8   0r  Standard form:   11x-y = -8
