You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the equation has the form y=mx + c where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

1. Find the gradient using the 2 sets of coordinates.
2. put the value of m into y=mx+c
3. Find the value of c, by using EITHER set of coordinates. ie you know x, y and m, so you can find c.
