(x1,y1)(0,2)and (x2,y2)(4,-1)
The equation of line when coordinates of two pointsa are given
%28%28y-y1%29%2F%28y1-y2%29%29=%28%28x-x1%29%2F%28x1-x2%29%29
plug the values of (x1,y1)(0,2)and (x2,y2)(4,-1)
%28%28y-2%29%2F%282-%28-1%29%29%29=%28%28x-0%29%2F%280-4%29%29
%28%28y-2%29%2F3%29=%28x-4%29
y-2=3(x-4)
y-2=3x-12
3x-y-10=0
