\n" ); document.write( "Using point-slope formula, \"y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29\", equation of the line
\n" ); document.write( "to find the equation of a line with slope m and \"P%28x%5B1%5D%2Cy%5B1%5D%29\" on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "for ex if the slope m = -3 and point is Pt(1,1)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29%2B+y%5B1%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3(x-1) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + 3 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "
