This is what to do:

The linear equation Ax+By=C has a slope
and the formula for slope is .
(1) Evaluate the slope using your two given points.

(2) Choose your integer values of A and B from the slope which you found.
(3) Form the expression Ax+By using the values you chose for A and B.

(4) Use either of the given points to evaluate C.
