x1----y1----x2----y2
\n" ); document.write( "-1-----3-----2----5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "m=-8
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point (-1,-3) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y =mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "-3.00=8+ b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-3-8
\n" ); document.write( "b=-11
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y =-8x-11
\n" ); document.write( "
