You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the linear equation through the points:
(2,3) (5,-1)
---
use the two-point form of the linear equation:
x1 y1 x2 y2 = 2, 3, 5, -1
plug x1 y1 x2 y2 into: https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php
---
slope (m) ~= -1.33333333 = -(1+1/3) = -4/3
y-intercept ~= 5.66666667 = 5+2/3 = 17/3
---
write the equation in slope-intercept form:
y = -4/3x + 17/3
