You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The general equation for a linear relation with 2
variables is y+=+mx+%2B+b where
m= slope
b= y-intercept
Now just pick any m and any b, like say
m+=+2
b+=+3
Now you have
y+=+2x+%2B+3
Now pick any x, say
x+=+4, and solve for y
y+=+2%2A4+%2B+3
y+=+11
Now You have the point (4,11)
Juck pick 9 more x's at random, and solve for the
corresponding y's in each case
