The points are:
\n" ); document.write( "( -3, -5 )
\n" ); document.write( "( -1, -4 )
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use the general point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+-%28-4%29+%29+%2F+%28+x+-%28-1%29+%29+=+%28+-1+%29+%2F+%28+-2+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+y+%2B+4+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+1+%29+=+1%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+%2B+4+=+%281%2F2%29%2A%28+x+%2B+1+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2y+%2B+8+=+x+%2B+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2y+=+x+-+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%281%2F2%29%2Ax+-+7%2F2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
