First you need to find the slope, which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug the points in as (1-4)/(-1-1) -> -3/-2
The slope is 3/2, or 1.5
Point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Plug in the slope (m) and the first point
y-4 = 1.5(x-1) <-- That's point slope form
To get standard form (ax+by=c), you can use point slope form
y - 4 = 1.5(x - 1)
y - 4 = 1.5x - 1.5
y = 1.5x + 2.5
-1.5x + y = 2.5 <-- Standard Form
