Write the equation in either slope-intercept form or standard form:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The line with the slope m=5, passing through the point (-12,0)

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's use slope-intercept form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\"

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You know the slope is 5, so add that in your equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5x%2Bb\"

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you need to find the y-intercept, which is reprented by b. To do so, plug in the values from the coordinate given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=5%28-12%29%2Bb\"

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply:
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=-60%2Bb\"

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 60 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "\"60=b\"
\n" ); document.write( "So now you have your y-intercept.

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, your equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5x%2B60\"

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can check by plugging in the values in the coordinate:
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=5%28-12%29%2B60\"

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply:
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=-60%2B60\"

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add:
\n" ); document.write( "\"0=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
