You must really mean, $\"y-5=%283%2F2%29%28x%2B4%29\"$ ;\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Follow this general example:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-k=%28v%2Fh%29%28x-p%29\"$ ---- the point-slope form of your given example, but now generalized;
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28y-k%29h=v%28x-p%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"hy-hk=vx-p\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"vx-p=hy-hk\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"vx-hy-p=hk\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28vx-hy=p%2Bhk%29\"$ ---- this would be standard form. It generally corresponds to Ax+By=C\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The given generalized example uses v/h as the slope, in which you may imagine v and h are integers. This permits demonstrating the clearing of the fraction, by multiplying both sides by the denominator. \n" ); document.write( "
