\"gradient\", like slope?\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Some uknown point (x,y) and a known point (1,7) on the line, and slope is \"-2\":\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-7%29%2F%28x-1%29=-2\"-----------There! Worked-out.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You might want the equation in a different form.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28y-7=-2%28x-1%29%29\"-----point-slope form, after multiplying both sides by \"x-1\".\r
