the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is $\"y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "-5x+2y=9
\n" ); document.write( "y = (5/2)x + 9/2 Green
\n" ); document.write( "m = (5/2) Parallel Lines have equal slopes
\n" ); document.write( "P(5,-1) on the other Line
\n" ); document.write( "***Using point-slope form, $\"y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+highlight_green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "y+1 = (5/2)(x - 5)
\n" ); document.write( "y = (5/2)x - 1 - 25/2
\n" ); document.write( "y = (5/2)x -27/2 Blue
\n" ); document.write( "
