Find the equation of the line containing the given pair of points:
------
There's no graphing.
--
(-2,-1) and (-5,-9)
Step 1, find the slope m.
m = diffy/diffx = -8/-3
m = 8/3
---
Step 2:
Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
y+1 = (8/3)*(x+2)
That's all.
----------------------
(4,2) and (12,5)
Same as above.
