\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1\\ % (a,b) &({{ 10}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad % (c,d) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{3}{5} \\\\\\ % point-slope intercept y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\implies y-(-2)=\cfrac{3}{5}(x-10)\\ \left. \qquad \right. \uparrow\\ \textit{point-slope form} \\\\\\ y+2=\cfrac{3}{5}(x-10)
