Write the point -slope form of the line with slope 5 \r\n" );
document.write( "containing the point (3, -2).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The point-slope form is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "          y - y1 = m(x - x1)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "where the slope is m and the point is (x1, y1)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So all we do is substitute 5 for m, 3 for x1 and -2 for y1\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "          y - (-2) = 5(x - 3)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "or\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "             y + 2 = 5(x - 3)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So you leave it like that and don't simplify it or else it will\r\n" );
document.write( "become the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.\r\n" );
