\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ -4.6}}\quad ,&{{ 2.8}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ 1.8}}\quad ,&{{ -7.7}}) \end{array} \\\quad \\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}} \\ \quad \\\\ % point-slope intercept y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values and solve for
