You can put this solution on YOUR website! write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given points. through (-4,5) and (5,-5)
===========
Step 1, find the slope, m
---
m = diffy/diffx = (-5-5)/(5- -4) = -10/9
---
Then use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) = either point.
========
y-5 = (-10/9)*(x+4)
y = (-10/9)x + 5/9
