\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" Plug in the given slope and the point (you're on the right track but you mixed up your x and y point)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-7=%284%2F5%29%28x-%28-3%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-7=%284%2F5%29%28x%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-7=%284%2F5%29x%2B%284%2F5%29%283%29%29\" Distribute the (4/5)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-7=%284%2F5%29x%2B12%2F5\" Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%284%2F5%29x%2B12%2F5%2B7\" Add 7 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%284%2F5%29x%2B12%2F5%2B35%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%284%2F5%29x%2B47%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-%284%2F5%29x=47%2F5\"Subtract \"%284%2F5%29x\" from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%28y-%284%2F5%29x%29=cross%285%29%2847%2Fcross%285%29%29\" Multiply both sides by the LCD (which is 5) to clear the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "\"5y-4x=47\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation in standard form is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4x%2B5y=47\"
\n" ); document.write( "Where A=-4, B=5,C=47
\n" ); document.write( "If you want A>0 then it equals:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x-5y=-47\"
\n" ); document.write( "Where A=4, B=-5,C=-47
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
