Answer:

Explanation:

Lets name the two points first:

Let the top point be A and the bottom point be B

Lets find the ordered pairs:

A: (7,4)

B: (-4,-6)

Now apply the formula:


m=(y_(2) -y_(1))/(x_(2) -x_(1))

-6-4 = -10

-4-7 = -11

m=10/11

Now let's find the y-intercept.

using the graphing tool at desmos, i found the y-intercept to be -26/11

Now apply slope-intercept form

y=mx+b


y=10/11x - 26/11
