x1 y1 x2 y2
\n" ); document.write( "2 6 3 8
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "( 8 - 6 )/( 3 - 2 )
\n" ); document.write( "( 2 / 1 )
\n" ); document.write( "m= 2
\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(3,8 ) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "8.00 = 2 * 3 + b
\n" ); document.write( "8.00 = 6 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= 8 + -6
\n" ); document.write( "b= 2
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = 2 x + 2
