Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points. Express your answer in the form x=a, y=b, or y=mx+ b\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(-5, -5) and (5,5)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What is an equation of the line?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "slope = (5--5)/(5--5) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "Form is y = mx + b ; you know x,y and m; solve for b:
\n" ); document.write( "5 = 1*5 +b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 0
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "y = x
\n" ); document.write( "============
