Answer :

The equation of line is:

y = (5/2) x - 11

Given,

Points (x₁, y₁) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂) = (-4, -11)

We can find the slope using the equation for slope

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

   = (-11 -4) / (-4 -2)

   = -15 / - 6

    = 5/2

We know the slope and a point, so we can use point slope form to make an equation

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

y - (-4) = 5/2 (x-2)

Distribute

y+4 = 5/2x – 5/2 x 2

y+4 = 5/2x - 5

Add -4 to each side

y +4 -4 = 5/2x – 5 - 4

y = 5/2x - 11

This is in slope intercept form (y= mx-b)
