find the equation of a line for this points (-1,3) and (3,-4)
In order to find the equation of a line, you need a point and a slope.
Youe can find the slope between two points using the slope formula:
, m=slope, (x1,y1) and (x2,y1) are two given points.
(x1,y1)=(-1,3) and (x2,y2)=(3,-4)

You can find the equation with a point and a slope using the point-slope formula: , m=slope and (x1,y1)=given point.
The slope, m=-7/4, (x1,y1) can be either point, to avoid confusion, I'm going with: (x1,y1)=(-1,3)

This is the equation in standard form.
Happy Calculating!!!
