Given two ordered pair, wanting equation of line in standard form:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope, \"%285%2F2-%28-1%2F2%29%29%2F%28-1%2F2-%283%2F2%29%29=-3%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pick either point, as example, (3/2,-1/2).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-mx=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=y-mx\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-1%2F2-%28-3%2F2%29%283%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=7%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In slope-intercept form, \"y=-%283%2F2%29x%2B7%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B%283%2F2%29x=7%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4y%2B6x=7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%286x%2B4y=7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
