You can put this solution on YOUR website! Same problem, different numbers.
=============================================================
A line passes through (–7,–5) and (–5,4).Write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
--------
Slope m = diffy/diffx
m = 9/2
----
y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
Rewrite into any form.
================
Or,
| x y 1|
|-7 -5 1| = 0
|-5 4 1|
---
x*(-5-4) - y*(-7+5) + (-28-25) = 0
-9x + 2y - 53 = 0
