First of all, you cannot write "the" equation of a line. There are many equations that represent any given line. The best you can do is write "an" equation of the desired line.
Use the two-point form of an equation of a line:
(x\ -\ x_1) )
where )
and )
are the coordinates of the given points.
Then simplify and solve for 
so that the equation takes the proper form, namely
