Find the equation of the line that goes through the points (4, –1) and (2, –5).

Use slope formula,m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction,to find the slope of a line that passes through the points.

m =
Use slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to find the y-intercept (b) of the line.

b =
Write the equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.
