What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, -2) and (-3, 4)?
------------
"An equation," not "the equation" can be found in more than 1 way.
===========
step 1, find the slope, m
Then, use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
==================
Or,

| x   y   1|
| 5  -2   1| = 0
|-3   4   1|
