Hello, brekathleen, and welcome to OpenStudy!

What to do:  1) find the SLOPE of the line that connects the 2 given points.
2) use either the POINT-SLOPE formula for the equation of a straight line or the 
SLOPE-INTERCEPT

mathmale · Answer

formula
to write the equation of the straight line thru the 2 given points.

Please look up those 2 different equations; you'll need to know both and know when and how to use them.
