Hi, 
Find the slope of the line through each pair of points:
*[tex \LARGE\ Using \ the \ standard \ slope-intercept \ form \ for \ an \ equation \ of \ a  \ line \ y = mx + b ] 
*[tex \LARGE\ where \ m \ is \ the \ slope \ and \ b \ the \ y-intercept]
(-5,4) 
(-1,11)   m = -7/-4 = 7/4
 y = (7/4)x + b    ||Using Pt(-1,11) to solve for b
 11 = (7/4)(-1) + b 
51/4 =  b 
 0 = b
 y = (7/4)x + 51/4    OR in Standard form:  7x -4y = 51
