You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start off with the point-slope form
\n" ); document.write( "of the equation which is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m+=+-4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(x,y) = (2,2)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+=+-4%2A2+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+=+-8+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The equation in point-slope form is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-4x+%2B+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In standard form it is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+%2B+y+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4%2A2+%2B+2+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8+%2B+2+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
