For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have two points through which the line passes:
We found the slope:
Substituting we have:
Thus, the equation is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:
Finally, the equation is:

Answer:
11. O = (-1, 5/2); 12. H = (1,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
11. Circumcentre
Your points form the vertices of a right triangle (see image below).
The circumcentre (O) of a right triangle must be at the midpoint of the hypotenuse.
Your hypotenuse has the ends at (-3,4) and (1,1), so
O = ((-3 + 1)/2),(4 + 1)/2))
O = (-2/2,5/2)
O = (-1, 5/2)

12. Orthocentre
The orthocentre (H) of a right triangle is the vertex at the right angle.
Your right angle is at (1, 4), so
H= (1,4)
