We need the slope formula which is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%28y2-y1%29+%2F+%28x2-x1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "we know coordinates and m. Substitute them to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+%28y-5%29+%2F+%283-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "will give us
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2+=+y+-+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
