(8,9) and (-5,0)
...
Slope = %28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29=%289-0%29%2F%288--5%29+=+9%2F13
...
y - 9 = 9%2F13(x-8)
...
y - 9 = %289%2F13%29x+-+%289%2F13%29%288%29
...
y = %289%2F13%29x+-+%2872%2F13%29+%2B+9
...
y = %289%2F13%29x+-+%2872%2F13%29+%2B+9%2813%2F13%29
...
y = %289%2F13%29x+-+%2872%2F13%29+%2B+%28117%2F13%29
...
