SLOPE=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
\n" ); document.write( "SLOPE=(3-6)/(-7-5)
\n" ); document.write( "SLOPE=-3/-12
\n" ); document.write( "SLOPE=1/4 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "NOW SUBSTITUTE ONE SET OF (X,Y) VALUES IN THE LINE EQUATUION Y=mX+b & SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT (b).
\n" ); document.write( "6=1/4*5+b
\n" ); document.write( "6=5/4+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=6-5/4
\n" ); document.write( "b=(24-5)/4
\n" ); document.write( "b=19/4 THIS IS THE Y INTERCEPT.
\n" ); document.write( "THE EQUATION IS:
\n" ); document.write( "Y=X/4+19/4
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-20%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+x%2F4+%2B19%2F4%29+\" (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -20 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = x/4 +19/4).
