Find Slope
----------------------------------------------------------
Slope = (17 - (-4) ) / (10 - (-4) )
Slope = 21/14
Slope = 3/2
----------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the general equation
----------------------------------------------------------
y = mx + c
y = 3/2 x + c
----------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
----------------------------------------------------------
at point (10, 17)
17 = 3/2 (10) + c
17 = 15 + c
c = 17 - 15
c = 2
----------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into the equation y = 3/2 (x) + c
----------------------------------------------------------
y = 3/2 x + 2
----------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = 3/2 x + 2
