we use the slope formula \"m=%28%28y-y%29%2F%28x-x%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2%2F3=%28%288-%28-4k%29%29%2F%285-%28-3%29%29%29\"correct the signs
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2%2F3=%28%288%2B4k%29%2F%285%2B3%29%29\"add
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2%2F3=%28%288%2B4k%29%2F8%29\"cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "\"-2%288%29=%288%2B4k%29%283%29\"multiply
\n" ); document.write( "\"-16=24%2B12k\"subtract 24
\n" ); document.write( "\"-40=12k\"divide 12
\n" ); document.write( "\"-40%2F12=12k%2F12\"reduce fraction
