<PRE><B>Question 481656</B>
x1		y1	x2	y2				
5		6	-6	-2				
								
slope m =		(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)						
(	-2	-	6	)/(	-6	-	5	) 
(	-8	/	-11	)  				
m=		  8/11		  8/11				 
								
Plug value of  the slope  and point 			(	5	,	6	) in	
Y 	=	m	x 	+	b			
6.00	=	3 5/8	+	b				
b=	6		3 5/8					
b=	2  4/11							
So the equation  will be								
Y 	=	 5/7	x 	+	19/8
{{{graph(300,300,-10,10,-10,10,y=(5x/7)+19/8))}}}
