first you find the slope
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%2818-10%29%2F%28-1-%28-3%29%29=8%2F2=4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "next you plug in one of the given points and your slope into the point slope formula
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y1=m%28x-x1%29\"$ where (x1,y1) is one of the given points
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-10=4%28x-%28-3%29%29\"$ simplify
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-10=4%28x%2B3%29\"$ distribute the 4
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-10=4x%2B12\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
