First find the slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
you can simply plug in your points A(x1, y1)and B(x2, y2) in to the formula
m=(8-(-4))/(11-3)
Then use point-slope form to get an equation for the line
(y - y1) = m (x - x1) You can use either point A or B for this formula
meaning you can use y1=-4 and x1=3 OR you can use y1=8 and x1=11. It is your choice.
After you'll plug m, x1 and y1 into the formula all you need to do is to simplify it and leave it in the form y= every_other_term_is_on_this_side
write an equation in general form for the line that passes through A(3,-4) and B(11, 8)
