$\"%28y-1%29%2F+%28x%2B4%29=+-+1%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 3.

\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%28y-1%29=-x-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y-3=-x-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y=-x-4%2B3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y=-x-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-%281%2F3%29x-1%2F3\"$
