The formula is
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "(x1,y1) = (5,6)
\n" ); document.write( "(x2,y2) = (-3,1)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y+-+1%29%2F%28x+-+%28-3%29%29+=+%286+-+1%29%2F%285+-+%28-3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y+-+1%29%2F%28x+%2B+3%29+=+%286+-+1%29%2F%285+%2B+3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y+-+1%29%2F%28x+%2B+3%29+=+5%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+-+1+=+%285%2F8%29%2A%28x+%2B+3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+-+1+=+%285%2F8%29%2Ax+%2B+15%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+%285%2F8%29%2Ax+%2B+23%2F8\"$ answer
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "does line go through the points?
\n" ); document.write( "(5,6)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6+=+%285%2F8%29%2A5+%2B+23%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6+=+25%2F8+%2B+23%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6+=+48%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6+=+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "(-3,1)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+%285%2F8%29%2A%28-3%29+%2B+23%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+-15%2F8+%2B+23%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+8%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
