Find the slope,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%2811-6%29%2F%28-40-%28-32%29%29=5%2F%28-40%2B32%29=-5%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then using the point-slope form,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-11=-%285%2F8%29%28x-%28-40%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-11=-%285%2F8%29x-25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-%285%2F8%29x-14\"$
