what is the equation of the line that passes through (5,-2) and (-3,4) ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

1) use the slope formula to find the slope of the line connecting these two points. 2) ONCE YOU have these two points, choose one of them. Substitute its x- and y-coordinates, along with your slope (m), into the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\] 3) Simplify the result.
