Hi  

(-1/2, -7/2) and 

(  2,  14) m = %28-35%2F2%29%2F%28-5%2F2%29+=+35%2F5+=+7 m =%28y%5B1%5D+-+y%5B2%5D%29%2F%28x%5B1%5D+-+x%5B2%5D+%29

m = 7

*Using point-slope form, y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+highlight_green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29

y - 14 = 7(x - 2)

y = 7x (in slope-intercept form)

Slope-intercept form for an equation of a line 

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept is:

y+=+highlight_green%28m%29x+%2B+highlight%28b%29
