x1 y1 x2 y2
-6 -2 5 -3

The general equation of the line when co-ordinates of two points are given is

%28y-%09y1%29%2F%28%09y1-y2%29+=+%28x-x1%29%2F%28x1-x2%29




%28y%092++++++%09%29%2F%28%091++++++%09%29=%28x%096++++++%09%29+%2F%28%09-11++++++%09%29

+%09-11++++++%09%28y%2B%092++++++%09%29+=%091++++++%09%28x-%09-6++++++%09%29

-11 y -22 = 1 x+ 6

-11 y= 1 x +28
x+11y=-28
