The slope m of a line
through points 
and 
is given by :<span>
Thus, the slope of the line passing through points </span><span>(−1, 7) and (2, 10) is
</span>
<span>
The equation of a line with slope m passing through a point P(a, b) is given by
(y-b)=m(x-a).
We can consider any of the points (-1, 7), or (2, 10). Let's choose (2, 10):
y-10=1(x-2)
y-10=x-2
y-x=-2+10
y-x=8
Answer: </span><span>C. −x+y=8</span>
