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 ( 1 , -3 ) in
\n" ); document.write( "Y = m x + b
\n" ); document.write( "-3.00 = 2 * 1 + b
\n" ); document.write( "-3.00 = 2 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -3 + -2
\n" ); document.write( "b= -5
\n" ); document.write( "So the equation will be
\n" ); document.write( "Y = 2 x -5 \r
