Use the point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+y+-+5+%29+%2F+%28+x+-%28-6%29+%29+=+2%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+y+-+5+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+6+%29+=+2%2F3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+3%2A%28+x+%2B+6+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%2A%28+y+-+5+%29+=+2%2A%28+x+%2B+6+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3y+-+15+=+2x+%2B+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3y+=+2x+%2B+27+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+%282%2F3%29%2Ax+%2B+9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "or, in standard form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+-+3y+=+-27+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
