I guess you are given two points that lie on a line and you need to find equation of that line

Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points

hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (7, -3) and (x2, y2) = (-3, 1).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(-0.4)x + (-0.2)

Your graph:

so, you have equation and it is in slope-intercept form
and, your equation in standard form will be:
