You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope of the line is\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m=-1%2F8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Considering the format \"y=mx%2Bb\", and using the point {5,-5),\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-5=-5%2F8%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-35%2F8=b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-x%2F8-35%2F8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"8y=-x-35\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B8y%2B35=0\" ----------------The equation of the line!
