Another point is needed to work out the slope and its straight line equation. Slope is worked out as: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-----------------------

With slope m and going through a point (x0, y0), a line has equation:

y - y0 = m(x - x0)

Thus the point-slope equation of a line with slope m through the point (-1, 2) is given by:

y - 2 = m(x - -1)

→ y - 2 = m(x + 1)
