Question 388431
First solve for the slope,
{{{m=(y[2]-y[1])/(x[2]-x[1])}}}
{{{m=(5-0)/(0-(-1))}}}
.
.
.
Once you have the slope, use the slope-intercept form of a line.
{{{y=mx+b}}}
Use either point to solve for {{{b}}}.
I'll use (0,-5).
{{{-5=m*0+b}}}
{{{b=-5}}}
In this case, I didn't even need to know {{{m}}} to solve.
.
.
.
{{{highlight(y=mx-5)}}}
Solve for {{{m}}} and that's the equation of the line.
