You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There is a general form that you can put any
\n" ); document.write( "linear equation into. It is called the slope-intercept form
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this form $\"+m+\"$ is the slope of the equation, which is:
\n" ); document.write( "[ change in y between 2 points ] / [ change in x between 2 points ]
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If they only give you \" slope = 3 \"
\n" ); document.write( "then they are telling you that the slope-intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "looks like: $\"+y+=+3x+%2B+b+\"$ ( but $\"+b+\"$ could be any number ) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
