The movement and location are exactly the same! The only difference is the handshape of your dominant hand. 'Law' uses an 'L' handshape, 'rule' uses an 'R' handshape, and 'formula' uses an 'F' handshape.
You should tap the 'F' handshape at the top of the non-dominant palm, lift it slightly, and tap it again at the bottom. Avoid sliding it continuously down the hand.
