slope is change of y/change of x
\n" ); document.write( "-3-y/1-5
\n" ); document.write( "=(-3-y)/-4, and that equals 5/4
\n" ); document.write( "cross-multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "-20=-12-4y
\n" ); document.write( "4y=8
\n" ); document.write( "y=2
\n" ); document.write( "y+3=(5/4)(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=(5x/4)-(17/4)
