Use the two-point form of an equation of a line:
(x\ -\ x_1) )
where )
and )
are the coordinates of the given points.
However, please note that you cannot write "the" equation of any line. You can only write "an" equation of a line. In the first place, you could just substitute the values in the point-slope or two-point form and have an equation of the desired line, or you could solve for 
to put it into slope-intercept form, or you could rearrange it into standard form, namely 
. Furthermore, for a given 
, 
, and 
, 
where 
describes a set of equations with an infinite number of elements, each of which graphs to the same line in
