It is difficult to determine exactly what you are asking. First of all, you don't have an equation anywhere -- there is no equals sign. But if you actually meant , then what I think you meant were two points, namely (3,4) and (5,1) are not both points on that line. (3, 4) is a point on the line, but (5, 1) is not because .

If you are asking to derive the equation for the line that passes through the points (3,4) and (5,1), then proceed in this fashion:

The two-point form of the equation of a straight line is:



where and are the two given points. It doesn't matter which of your points you call number 1 and which you call number 2 as long as you are consistent when you make the substitutions:
