SOLUTION: given that (-3,-5) and (-1,-4) are points on the same line find a point-slope form of the equation for this line i know that i have to find the i take y1-y2/x1-x2 which is -5--4/-3

Question 1027310: given that (-3,-5) and (-1,-4) are points on the same line find a point-slope form of the equation for this line i know that i have to find the i take y1-y2/x1-x2 which is -5--4/-3--1 and makes the slope 1/2 or possibly -1/2 from there i'm lost
