Y2=1, Y1=-3, X2=-6, X1=-6.
\n" ); document.write( "1-(-3)=1+3=4 THIS IS THE NUMERATOR.
\n" ); document.write( "-6-(-6)=-6+6=0 THIS IS THE DENOMINATOR.
\n" ); document.write( "THE BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE IS TO PLOT THESE 2 SETS OF POINTS AND DRAW A LINE BETWEEN THEM.
\n" ); document.write( "DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GET THE 3-17 ?????????
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "the line equation is: y=Mx+B where M=slope & B=the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "first we need to find the slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "(1+3)/(-6*6)=4/0 or this slope is undefined & is a verticle line through the point x=-6
\n" ); document.write( "thus the line equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "x=-6 & has no y intercept. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
