[tex]\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-6}{4-(-1)}\implies \cfrac{1-6}{4+1}\implies \cfrac{-5}{5}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-6=-1[x-(-1)]\implies y-6=-1(x+1) \\\\\\ y-6=-x-1\implies y=-x+5[/tex]
