First let's find the slope of the line through the points

and

Start with the slope formula.

Plug in , , , , ,

Subtract from to get

Subtract from to get

Reduce

So the slope of the line that goes through the points

and

is

Now let's use the point slope formula:

Start with the point slope formula

Plug in , , and

Distribute

Multiply

Add 20 to both sides.

Combine like terms.

Simplify

So the equation that goes through the points

and

is
