---------------------
An equation, not the equation.
---
Find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx
---
Then use y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.

the equation in slope-intercept form of the line is
where is a slope and is y-intercept
line passes through the points (,) and (, ), so use them to find a slope

so far the equation is
...........use point (, ) to calculate

and your equation is:
