Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points
hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (0, 1) and (x2, y2) = (2, 0).
\n" ); document.write( " Slope a is \"a+=+%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29+=+%280-1%29%2F%282-0%29+=+-0.5\".
\n" ); document.write( " Intercept is found from equation \"a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D\", or \"-0.5%2A0+%2Bb+=+1\". From that,
\n" ); document.write( " intercept b is \"b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D\", or \"b=1--0.5%2A0+=+1\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " y=(-0.5)x + (1)
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, your equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-0.5x+%2B+1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and in standard form it will be \"0.5x%2By=1\"\r
