\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "3,-5 2x+5y=6 \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "so I changed it into y= 2x/5 + 6/5 then I got the reciprocal which is 5/2 then I put it into this formula y-y1=m(x-x1)
\n" );
document.write( "so then I got y-(-5)=5/2(x-3)
\n" );
document.write( " so now this is where I get stuck I cant figure out the distbutive property part after I get 5/2 im not sure how to multiply 5/2 * 3 if you could help me figure this part be a big help \n" );
