\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For problems like these, you need to first determine the slope, and then use the general form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, plug in the slope, or m, the coordinates of one of the points: (5, 1), or (- 5, - 5), and solve for b. This will give you the equation.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can also use the point-slope formula: , with \"x%5B1%5D+=+5\", \"y%5B1%5D+=+1\", \"x%5B2%5D+=+-+5\", \"y%5B2%5D+=+-+5\"\r
