~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



        The solution in the post by @mananth is INCORRECT.

        Below is my correct solution.



(-5,3) and (x+1, x-2)


slope = {{{(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}}}


= {{{(x-2-3)/(x+1-(-5))}}}


= {{{(x-5)/(x+6)}}}.    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>ANSWER</U>



Solved correctly.
