Hi,

Line Passing through 

(1,9) and 

(4,-7)   m = %289-%28-7%29%29%2F%281-4%29+=+16%2F-3+    m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29   

 y-9 = (-16/3)(x-1)    |point-slope form of the equation 

 y-9 = (-16/3)x + 16/3

  y =  (-16/3)x + 43/3  |slope-intercept form of the equation
