m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29

m=%28%28-15%29-%28-16%29%29%2F%28%28-7%29-%2819%29%29

m=%28-15%2B16%29%2F%28-7-19%29

m=1%2F%28-26%29

m=-1%2F26

y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29

y-%28-16%29=expr%28-1%2F26%29%28x-%2819%29%5E%22%22%29

y%2B16=expr%28-1%2F26%29x%2B19%2F26

Multiply through by 26

26y%2B416=-x%2B19

x%2B26y=-397
