The first equation can be rewritten as \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F%285%2F2%29+%2B+y%2F%28-1%29+=+1\"$ , \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "while the second equation can be rewritten as \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2F%28-3%29+%2B+y%2F%28-4%29+=+1\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "===> the desired line has y-intercept -1, and x-intercept -3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "===> The equation of the line is $\"x%2F%28-3%29+%2B+y%2F%28-1%29+=+1\"$ , or x+3y = -3. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
