Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through points (-1/2,-1) and (1/2,-2). Identify its intercepts
----------
Step 1, find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx, difference in y over the difference in x
------------
Step 2, use
y-y1 = m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
