The equation of the line is incorrect, specifically the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-7-%28-1%29%29%2F%2810-%28-5%29%29=%28-6%29%2F15=-2%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then the point-slope form becomes,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B7=-%282%2F5%29%28x-10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5y%2B35=-2%28x-10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5y%2B35=-2x%2B20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B5y=-15\"
