(\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{8}-\stackrel{y1}{2}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{(-1)}}} \implies \cfrac{6}{4 +1} \implies \cfrac{ 6 }{ 5 }


\begin{array} \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}{2}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{6}{5}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-1)}) \implies y -2 = \cfrac{6}{5} ( x +1) \\\\\\ y-2=\cfrac{6}{5}x+\cfrac{6}{5}\implies y=\cfrac{6}{5}x+\cfrac{6}{5}+2\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=\cfrac{6}{5}x+\cfrac{16}{5} \end{array}}
