Use the two-point form of an equation of a line.



where and are the coordinates of the given points.

Substitute your given coordinate values, do the arithmetic, simplify, and re-arrange to the form:



Where , , and are integers to obtain the standard form of an equation whose solution set is the graph of a line containing the two given points.
