\"+5%2F2%29+\" = the slope of given line
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-1%2Fm+=+-1%2F%285%2F2%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-1%2Fm+=+-2%2F5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is the slope of the line through ( 5,-1 )
\n" ); document.write( "Use the general point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+y+-+%28-1%29+%29+%2F+%28+x-+5+%29+=+-2%2F5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+5%2A%28+x-5+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5%2A%28+y+%2B+1+%29+=+-2%2A%28+x+-+5+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5y+%2B+5+=+-2x+%2B+10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+%2B+5y+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "does it go through ( 5,-1 )?
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2A5+%2B+5%2A%28-1%29+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+10+-+5+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
