Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,

11) and (-1,1). Write your answer in slope-intercept form. Bonus points for
writing it in the two other forms (make sure you label which form is which).

Explanation:

the slope = (1-11)/(-1-4) = -10/(-5) = 2

the equation is : y -11 = 2(x-4)

=> y -11 = 2x -20

y = 2x -8 +11

y = 2x +3

other forms :

<=> 2x - y = -3

<=> 2x - y + 3 = 0
