y -
y1 = m (x - x1)
where m is the slope and (x1 , y1) is the point given
m = (y2-y1)\(x2-x1)
we have
(-5,-3) and (6,1)
so: m = (1- -3) / (6- -5) = (1+3)/(6+5) = 4/11
and the equation of the line is:
y -
y1 = m (x - x1)
y-1 = 4/11 (x-6)
simplify:
y = 4/11 x - 24/11 +1
[tex]y= \frac{4}{11} x - \frac{13}{11} [/tex]
I hope that
helps!
