Using the point slope form,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y%5B1%5D=-%285%2F7%29%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "with the point (0,-1),
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-%28-1%29=-%285%2F7%29%28x-0%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B1=-%285%2F7%29x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-%285%2F7%29x-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
