\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2By=0\" Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=0-2x\" Subtract \"2+x\" from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-2x\" Simplify\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation is now in slope-intercept form (\"y=mx%2Bb\") where the slope is \"m=-2\" and the y-intercept is \"b=0\". Note: the equation really looks like \"y=-2x%2B0\"
