\n" ); document.write( "If you mean \"y intercept of 2\", then the point (0,2) is on this line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have the two points (-1, -3) and (0, 2). Let's use the slope formula.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%282+-+%28-3%29%29%2F%280+-+%28-1%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%282+%2B+3%29%2F%280+%2B+1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%285%29%2F%281%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Final Answer: 5\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-----------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "side note: The value 5 can be written as 5/1. Compare this to slope = rise/run and we see that rise = 5 and run = 1. Therefore, we go up 5 each time we move to the right 1, so we can generate as many points as we want along this line.
