Did i do this correctly?

Question:write the equation of the line with the given points

(-5,3) (4,1)
m=1-3/4-(-5)=-2/9 is this correct?

Answers:
That`s correct, but you must also find the value of c. Now,

y = -2x/9 + c. You know that when x = 4, y = 1, so

1 = -2*4/9 + c, so

1 = -8/9 + c, so

17/9 = c, so

y = -2x/9 + 17/9. Hope this helps, Twiggy.
u r correct in finding slopes but u said u want equation.the formula for equation is y=mx+c.
hence the equation is given as y=-2/9x+c
9y=-2x+c
2x+9y+c=0 is the required equation.
