Although not specifically requested, we'll assume the question requires to find the equation of the line passing through both points

Answer:


6y-7x+11=0

Explanation:

Equation of a Line

To completely define the equation of a line, we only need two points through which the line passes. Let's say that our line passes through the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). The equation of the line can be found by


\displaystyle y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)(x-x_1)

We have the coordinates of the points to be (-1,-3) and (5,4). Plugging the values into the formula:


\displaystyle y+3=(4+3)/(5+1)(x+1)

Operating


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


6y+18=7x+7

Rearranging to find the standard equation


\boxed{6y-7x+11=0}
