Answer:

x - 3y= -14

Explanation:

Slope is rise over run

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

we write in slope-intercept form:

y = 1/3x + b

solve for b by plugging in either point

i'm going to plug in H

5 = 1/3 + b

b = 14/3

we get our equation

y = 1/3x + 14/3

now re-write it in standard form

-1/3x + y = 14/3

make it pretty

x - 3y = -14
