You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First use the slope formula: \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\" with\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(x1, y1) = (2, -1), and (x2, y2) = (5, -10)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "to find the slope m.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then use the formula\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Only substitute numbers for m and for (x1, y1).\r\n" );
document.write( "Do not substitute any numbers for x or y, but leave them as the letters\r\n" );
document.write( "x and y.  Then simplify and solve for y.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
