y = –9x – 3 -------(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "slope of a line is given by the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = mx +c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " here m = slope
\n" ); document.write( "compare the equation (1) with the standard form y = mx + c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we find slope (m) = -9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the y intercept put x = 0 in equation(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -9(0) - 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " hence y intercept = -3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
