Given two points,

and

, you can write the equation of the line using the two-point form of the equation of a line:

. Just insert the values from the two ordered pairs and do the arithmetic.

Once you have simplified things, solve the equation for y (that is, manipulate the equation so that y is by itself on the left and everything else is on the right) to put the equation in slope-intercept form.
