So first we need to find the slope. The equation find slope is:

\frac{ y_{2}  -y_{1} }{ x_{2}-  x_{1} }

Either of the points could be denoted as '1' or '2',

Let's plug in the point (0, 8) as '1' and (-1, 10) as '2':

\frac{10-8}{-1-0} = \frac{2}{-1}=-2

So we know that the slope, m, is equal to -2.

The point-slope equation is:

y- y_{1}=m(x- x_{1})

where m is the slope and x_{1} and y_{1} are the point. So since we have two points here, we can pick one to use for the equation. Let's use (-1, 10):

y-(10)=-2(x-(-1))

**We need to make sure that we have accounted for all of the signs. Remember that two negatives equal a positive:

y-10=-2(x+1)

And there is your point slope form of the line that passes through the two points.
