\r\n" );
document.write( "The slope-intercept form of linear equation is y = mx + b.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To get this form, variable \"y\" should be expressed via variable \"x\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In your case, to get this form, simply move \"y\" to the right \r\n" );
document.write( "and move 5 to the left. Do not forget to change the signs of these terms on the way.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You will get then\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x + 5 = y.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now swap left side and right side\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    y = x + 5.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It is what you want to get.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The slope-intercept form of the given equation is y = x + 5.\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In the slope-intercept form, \" m \" is the slope.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In your case, the slope is m = 1. You can see it directly and explicitly from the slope-intercept equation - - -
\n" ); document.write( "- - - therefore, there is NO NEED to re-calculate the slope again, as the other tutor does.\r
