y+2=-3(x-7) \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "is in the form\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-y1=m(x-x1) \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where m = -3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since m is the slope, the slope is -3.
