Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points.

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assign the given coordinates as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "x1=1; y1=2
\n" ); document.write( "x2=3; y2=3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope (m) using the slope formula: m = \"%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "m = \"%283-2%29%2F%283-1%29\" = \"1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point/slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 2 = \"1%2F2\"(x - 1)
