Hi, Taylor,
1.  Please use the slope formula to compute the slope of the line that passes through two given points.  Then write out the "point-slope formula for a straight line."
2.  Once you have that slope, m, choose one of the two given points and substitute m and the coordinates of one of the points into the "point-slope formula".

Hope you'll look up these two formulas on your own, but if not, come back and we'll discuss this problem further.
