(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-7}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{9}-\underset{x_1}{3}}} \implies \cfrac{ -8 }{ 6 }\implies -\cfrac{4}{3}


\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{3}) \\\\\\ y-1=-\cfrac{4}{3}x+4\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=-\cfrac{4}{3}x+5 \end{array}}
