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

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':

So we know that the slope, m, is equal to -2.
The point-slope equation is:

where m is the slope and

and

are the point. So since we have two points here, we can pick one to use for the equation. Let's use (-1, 10):

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

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