Question 1030971

x1		y1	x2	y2					
-1		-3	4	1					
									
slope m =		(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)							
(	1	-	-3	)/(	4	-	-1	)	
(	4	/	5	)  					
m=		 4/5						 	
The required line passes through both the points. So we select one point and plug it with the slope 									
Plug value of  the slope  and point			(	-1	,	-3	) in		
Y	=	m	x	+	b				
-3.00	=	 4/5	*	-1	+	b			
-3.00	=	- 4/5	+	b					
b=	-3    	+	 4/5						
b=	-2  1/ 5								
So the equation  will be									
Y 	=	 4/5	x	-11/5
