The equation would have the same form,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=-%282%2F5%29y%2BD\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point to solve for $\"D\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28-2%29=-%282%2F5%29%285%29%2BD\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4=-2%2BD\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D=-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=-%282%2F5%29y-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x=-2y-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10x%2B2y=-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%285x%2By=-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
