  1. Calculate Slope: To find the equation of a line, we need to determine the slope mm of the line using the formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}, where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) are the coordinates of the two points the line passes through.\newlineUsing the points (6,5)(-6,-5) and (4,4)(-4,-4), we calculate the slope as follows:\newlinem=4(5)4(6)m = \frac{-4 - (-5)}{-4 - (-6)}\newlinem=12m = \frac{1}{2}\newlinem=12m = \frac{1}{2}
  2. Use Point-Slope Form: Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where mm is the slope and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line. We can use either of the given points; let's use the point (6,5)(-6, -5). The equation becomes y(5)=12(x(6))y - (-5) = \frac{1}{2}(x - (-6)).
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by distributing the slope and moving 5-5 to the other side of the equation.\newliney+5=(12)x+3y + 5 = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)x + 3\newliney=(12)x+35y = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)x + 3 - 5\newliney=(12)x2y = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)x - 2
