(6,1)&(5,4)
(7,-3)&(4,-8)
(-8,0)&(1,5)
Basically, you are to find the line that passes through 2 points.
Equation: y2-y1=m(x2-x1)
• x1: 6, x2: 5, y1: 1, y2: 4
(4-1)/(5-6)=m
m=3/-1
m=-3
Hence, m= -3x10^0

• x1: 7, x2: 4, y1: -3, y2: -8
(-8--3)/(4-7)=m
m=(-8+3)/-3
m=-5/-3
m=5/3
m=1.66666667
Hence, m=1.6667x10^0

• x1: -8, x2: 1, y1: 0, y2: 5
(5-0)/(1--8)=m
m=5/(1+8)
m=5/9
m=0.55555556
Hence, m=5.56x10^-1

Hope this helps!
