Let the slope = $\"+m+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The general equation of a straight line is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Given the point:
\n" ); document.write( "( -1, -2 )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-2+=+m%2A%28-1%29+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for $\"+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+=+m+-+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax++%2B+m+-+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
