First let's find the slope of the line through the points and


Note: is the first point . So this means that and .
Also, is the second point . So this means that and .


Start with the slope formula.


Plug in , , , and


Subtract from to get


Subtract from to get


Reduce


So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is


Now let's use the point slope formula:


Start with the point slope formula


Plug in , , and


Distribute


Multiply


Add 10 to both sides.


Combine like terms.


Simplify


So the equation that goes through the points and is


Notice how the graph of goes through the points and . So this visually verifies our answer.
Graph of through the points and
