Write the equation of the line that passes through point (–5, –12) with a slope of 2
\n" ); document.write( "The formula to attack this problem is called the point slope formula (this is not the only way to do this though.)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29%29\"$ , m=slope (x1,y1)=given point
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-%28-12%29=2%28x-%28-5%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B12=2%28x%2B5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B12=2x%2B10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B12-12=2x%2B10-12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=2x-2\"$
