Hi, Yes! first find slope
Finding equation of the line in standard form Ax + By = C
Using the point-slope formula, {{{m =(y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1])}}} to find m
(7, -3), 
(4, -8)   m = -3-(-8) / 7-4 = 5/3
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  
 y = (5/3)x + b |using ordered pair Pt(7,-3) to solve for b
 -3 = (5/3)*7 + b
 - 3 - 35/3 = b
 -44/3 = b
 y = (5/3)x -44/3   |multiplying each term by 3
 3y = 5x -44 
  5x - 3y = 44, equation of the line in standard form
