Find the point-slope form of the equation of the line passing through the points (8,-7) and (-7,-5) \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "I'll do it the easy way. \n" ); document.write( "|+x +y 1| \n" ); document.write( "|+8 -7 1| = 0 \n" ); document.write( "|-7 -5 1| \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "x*(-7+5) - y*(8+7) +(-40-49) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "-2x - 15y -89 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "2x + 15y = -89 \n" ); document.write( "I don't know what \"point-slope\" form is, you'll have to rearrange it. \n" ); document.write( "If you don't like this method, email me and I'll do a different way. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
