Use the general point slope formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+-%28-5%29+%29+%2F+%28+x+-%28-3%29+%29+=+%28+7+-%28-5%29+%29+%2F+%28+-5+-%28-3%29+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+%2B+5+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+3+%29+=+%28+7+%2B+5+%29+%2F+%28+-5+%2B+3+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+%2B+5+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+3+%29+=+12+%2F+%28-2%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+%2B+5+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+3+%29+=+-6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+%2B+5+=+-6%2A%28+x+%2B+3+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+%2B+5+=+-6x+-+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-6x+-+23+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "(-5,7)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-6x+-+23+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7+=+-6%2A%28-5%29+-+23+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7+=+30+-+23+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7+=+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(-3,-5)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-6x+-+23+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-5+=+-6%2A%28-3%29+-+23+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-5+=+18+-+23+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-5+=+-5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
