First find the slope of the line using the two point slope formula,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%284-2%29%2F%28-2-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%282%29%2F%28-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=-%282%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then us the point-slope form of the line using one of the points and the slope.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I'll use (-2,4) as the point.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-4=-%282%2F5%29%28x-%28-2%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-4=-%282%2F5%29%28x%2B2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-%282%2F5%29x-4%2F5%2B4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-%282%2F5%29x-4%2F5%2B20%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-%282%2F5%29x%2B16%2F5%29\"$
