hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (-5, -8) and (x2, y2) = (1, 34).
Slope a is  .
Intercept is found from equation  , or  . From that,
intercept b is  , or  .
y=(7)x + (27)

so, a line is  and a line  is 
as you can see, both lines have   , therefore lines are
