slope=-1/5, passing through (1,2)
\n" ); document.write( "y-(-2)=-1/5(x-1) ***** y-2
\n" ); document.write( "point slope form: y-2 = -1/5(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "translate into slope-intercept form: This is where I get lost.
\n" ); document.write( "Just solve for y
\n" ); document.write( "y-2 = -1/5(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y = -1/5(x-1) + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x/5 + 1/5 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x/5 + 11/5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
