Point slope formula is y= mx+b. To find the slope, or m, you need to find the "rise over run". rise = y coordinates, run = x coordinates. And the slope equation is y1-y2/x1-x2. So let's say the first point is (x1,y1) and the second is (x2,y2). that would be 35-(-31)/5-(-6)= 66/11 or 6/1 aka up six, across one. That is your slope. So far you have y=6x+b, next plug (5,35) into that equation and solve for b (aka the y intercept). So: 35=6(5)+b. 35-30=b, b=5. So your final equation is y=6x+5.
