Solved by pluggable solver: FIND EQUATION of straight line given 2 points

hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (4, 7) and (x2, y2) = (1, 4).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(1)x + (3)

Your graph:

so, your equation is:
