This linear function:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%28x%29+=+mx+%2B+b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "May be graphed on the $\"x%2C+y+\"$ plane as this equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This equation is called the $\"slope\"$ - $\"intercept\"$ $\"+form\"$ for a line.
\n" ); document.write( "The $\"graph\"$ of this equation $\"is\"$ $\"+a\"$ $\"+straight\"$ $\"+line\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the line is $\"+m\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The line $\"crosses\"$ the $\"y-axis\"$ at $\"b\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The $\"point\"$ where the line crosses the $\"y-axis\"$ is called the $\"y-intercept\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The $\"x%2C+y\"$ coordinates for the $\"y-intercept\"$ are $\"+0\"$ , $\"+b\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Since $\"b+=+0\"$ , the $\"y-intercept\"$ is $\"+0\"$ , $\"0\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "slope is $\"m+=+1%2F2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now you can $\"convert+\"$ it in $\"standard\"$ $\"form\"$ :\r
