If the line passes through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) we can use the formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-y1%29%2F%28y2-y1%29=%28x-x1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into the formula (-4, 6) and (2, -6), \"x1=-4%2C+y1=6%2C+x2=2%2C+y2=-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-6%29%2F%28-6-6%29=%28x-%28-4%29%29%2F%282-%28-4%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-6%29%2F-12=%28x%2B4%29%2F6\" multiply by -12
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-6=-2%28x%2B4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-2x-8%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-2x-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
