Solved by pluggable solver: FIND EQUATION of straight line given 2 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) = (2, -8) and (x2, y2) = (-7, 5).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(-1.44444444444444)x + (-5.11111111111111)
