For problems like these, you need to first determine the slope, and then use the general form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, plug in the slope, or m, the coordinates of one of the points: (5, 1), or (- 5, - 5), and solve for b. This will give you the equation.

You can also use the point-slope formula: , with , , ,
