Question 944983
Easier to use point-slope form, and transform the equation into standard form.


{{{y-v=m(x-u)}}}, generalized point-slope form, using point (u,v).
m=slope, vertical change divided by horizontal change.


{{{m=cross((3-(-5))/(-1-(-2))=-2/1=-2)}}},was a mistake;
{{{m=(3-(-5))/(-1-(-2))=(3+5)/(-1+2)=8/1=8}}}
Next, pick either given point;
{{{y-3=8(x-(-1))}}}, now corrected;
You can finish putting this into the standard form.



(Try to look past my earlier mistake, and transform the point-slope form into standard form.)
