You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming you mean standard form of a line through the two points.
\n" ); document.write( "First find the slope.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%283-1%29%2F%28-2-5%29=2%2F-7=-2%2F7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then use the point-slope form with either point,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-1=-%282%2F7%29%28x-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7y-7=-2x%2B10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%282x%2B7y=17%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
