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) = (3, 8) and (x2, y2) = (5, 4).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(-2)x + (14)
