and
----------------------------
The slope of the line segment is:
--------------------------------------
The required line goes through ( -2, 7 )
and has slope =
--------------------------------------
Use the point-slope formula
----------------------------------
check answer:
does the line go through ( -2,7 ) ?
OK
