given:
a line contains (,) and (,)
it has a slope

slope intercept form:
.......for (,)

.......eq.1
.......for (,)
.......eq.2
_____________________.......solve this system
.......eq.1
.......eq.2
______________________________subtract eq.1 from eq.2








now we can find

.......eq.1




so, the line should contain given points (,)= (,) and (,)=(,)
