Y=mX+B IS THE STANDARD EQUATION FOR A LINE THROUGH TWO POINTS WITH A SLOPE(m) & A Y INTERCEPT (b). THIS LINE IS EXPRESED AS AN EQUATION & A GRAPH OF THE LINE THROUGH THE TWO DEFINED POINTS.

Every two pair of points has the same slope and
the equation only has one y-intercept. The slope
gives you "m"; the y-intercept gives you "b".
The equation of the line is y=mx+b and m and b
do not change no matter what two points on the
line are used.
Cheers,
Stan H.
