You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if the points are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), the formula is:
%28y+-+y1%29%2F%28x+-+x1%29+=+%28y2+-+y1%29%2F%28x2+-+x1%29
given:
(3,5) and (5,9)
%28y+-+5%29%2F%28x+-+3%29+=+%289+-+5%29%2F%285+-+3%29
%28y+-+5%29%2F%28x+-+3%29+=+2
+y+-+5+=+2%2A%28x+-+3%29+
+y+-+5+=+2x+-+6+
+y+=+2x+-+1+ answer
check answer:
+y+=+2x+-+1+ for (5,9)
9+=+2%2A5+-+1+
9+=+9
OK
