You can put this solution on YOUR website!
With a straight line, the slope is designated
\n" ); document.write( "as $\"+m+\"$ , also you are given the point ( 0,5 )
\n" ); document.write( "as the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The general form of a straight line is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Notice that when you plug in the point ( 0,5 )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5+=+m%2A0+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+=+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "That's why $\"+b+\"$ is called the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "So now you have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
