---------
Find the slope of the line:
m=slope=[5-0]/[4--1]=5/5=1
Pick one of the points, say (4,5)
Substitute the x=4,y=5, and m=1 into the formula
y=mx+b; then solve for "b", as follows:
5=4*1+b
b=1
The equation you want is y=x+1
Cheers,

Two points determine a line, so they determine the
slope of the line

where m is the slope
Let (4,5) = ( , )
Let (-1,0) = ( , )
