Answer 1

To create an equation, you have to find the slope of the line

m =
`( y_(2)- y_(1) )/( x_(2)- x_(1) )`

Where m is your slope and:

(4,5) =>
`(x_(1), y_(1))`

(-3,-1) =>
`(x_(2) , y_(2) )`

So, plug the numbers into the equation


`m = (-1-5)/(-3-4) = (-6)/(-7) = (6)/(7)`

The slope of this equation is 6/7

Point slope form of a line is:


`y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1) )`

(-3,-1) =>
`(x_(2) , y_(2) )` and m = 6/7

y + 1 = 6/7 (x + 3)
