Equation is $y = -1/18x +61/18$

Slope $m= -1/18$

To write the equation of the line we need the following:

Given $(-11, 4) and (7, 3)$

Slope $=> m= (3-4)/(7-(-11))$

$=> m= -1/18$

We can write equation of the line, using point slope formula
$y- y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

$y- 4= -1/18(x-(-11))$

$y-4 = -1/18 x + 11/18$

Solve for $y$

$y = -1/18 x +11/18 + 4/1$

$y= -1/18x + 4 11/18$

$y = -1/18x +61/18$

What is the equation of the line between (-11,4)(-11,4) and (7,3)(7,3)?
