The given points are:
\n" ); document.write( "( 48, 8 ) and
\n" ); document.write( "( 120. 20 )
\n" ); document.write( "I converted 2 hrs to \"+60%2A2+=+120+\" min
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The rate of typing is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8%2F48+=+1%2F6+\" pages/min
\n" ); document.write( "and this agrees with the 2nd point:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+20%2F120+=+1%2F6+\" pages/min
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The equation will have the form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+m%2Ax+\" where \"+m+\" is the slope of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "In this case \"+m+=+1%2F6+\", so the equation is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+%281%2F6%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "From this you can see that when \"+x+=+6+\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+1+\", and that is 1 page typed in 6 min
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
