The equation needing to be solved is ( -5,10) and (3,-6). This needs to be wrote in the slope intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the slope formula: m = \"%28%28y2-y1%29%29%2F%28%28x2-x1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assign the values as follows
\n" ); document.write( "x1=-5; y1=10
\n" ); document.write( "x2=3; y2=-6
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope
\n" ); document.write( "m = \"%28%28-6-10%29%29%2F%28%283-%28-5%29%29%29\" = \"%28-16%29%2F8\" = -2 is the slope
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point/slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1), we know m=-2
\n" ); document.write( "y - 10 = -2(x - (-5))
\n" ); document.write( "y - 10 = -2(x + 5)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 10 = -2x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x - 10 + 10
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x, this is the slope intercept form (intercept is 0)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm this when x = -5,
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2(-5)\
\n" ); document.write( "y - 10
\n" ); document.write( "and when x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2(3)
\n" ); document.write( "y = -6 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
