change in y/change in x is slope
\n" ); document.write( "(y-2)/(-3-5)=3/2
\n" ); document.write( "(y-2)/(-8)=3/2
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "2(y-2)=-24
\n" ); document.write( "2y-4=-24
\n" ); document.write( "2y=-20
\n" ); document.write( "y=-10
\n" ); document.write( "y-2=(3/2)(x-5)
\n" ); document.write( "y=(3/2)x-(15/2)+2
\n" ); document.write( "y=(3x/2)-(11/2)
