I've done this one earlier today. I put that one in slope intercept form, for you I'm going to put it in standard form, since you didn't specify a preference.
Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (3,5) and (-1,10)
First we need to find the slope between the two points because in order to find the equation of a line, we need one point and a slope.
The slope formula:
(x1,y1)=(3,5) and (x2,y2)=(-1,10)

Now, use the point slope formula:, where m=slope and (x1,y1) is a given point. For this problem, m=-5/4 and (x1,y1)=(3,5)

<---standard form of a line
Happy Calculating!!!
