x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "3 4 1 -2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( -2 - 4 )/( 1 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "( -6 / -2 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= 3
\n" ); document.write( "The required line passes through both the points. So we select one point and plug it with the slope
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and point ( 3 , 4 ) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "4.00 = 3 * 3 + b
\n" ); document.write( "4.00 = 9 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 4 + -5
\n" ); document.write( "b= 9
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = 3 x -5
