Here, we should again recall the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line:
y=m%2Ax%2Bb
where m= slope
b= y-intercept
to know the value of m, we now use the two points.(9,-1) and (-5,10).

m=10-%28-1%29%2F-5-9
m=-11%2F14
y=m%2Ax%2Bb
we use the point (9,-1).
9=%28-11%2F14%29%2A-1%2Bb
b=8+3%2F14
y=-11x%2F14%2B115%2F14
14y=-11x%2B115
11x%2B14y-115=0
And that is the general equation of your line!
