slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(5,3)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 3
(8,-2)..x2 = 8 and y2 = -2
now we sub
slope = (-2 - 3) / (8 - 5) = -5 / 3

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -5/3
use either of ur points..(5,3)...x = 5 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = -5/3(5) + b
3 = -25/3 + b
3 + 25/3 = b
9/3 + 25/3 = b
34/3 = b

ur equation is y = -5/3x + 34/3...but we need it in standard form

y = -5/3x + 34/3
5/3x + y = 34/3
5x + 3y = 34 <=== standard form
