Use the general point-slope formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+-+3+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+2+%29+=+%28+8+-+3+%29+%2F+%28+8+-+2+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+-+3+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+2+%29+=+5%2F6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+6%2A%28+x+-+2+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6%2A%28+y+-+3+%29+=+5%2A%28+x+-+2+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6y+-+18+=+5x+-+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6y+=+5x+%2B+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%28+5%2F6+%29%2Ax+%2B+4%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "(2,3)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3+=+%28+5%2F6+%29%2A2+%2B+4%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+18+=+10+%2B+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+18+=+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "( 8,8 )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+8+=+%28+5%2F6+%29%2A8+%2B+4%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+48+=+40+%2B+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+48+=+48+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The standard form is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6y+-+18+=+5x+-+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+-+6y+=+-8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "( you can check it )
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
