Same problem, different numbers.
===========================================================
Write the equation of the line that contains the indicated pair of points. Express the final equation in standard form.
(2, 1), (4, 3)
---------------
Step 1, find the slope, m.
m = diffy/diffx
==============
Step 2, use y - 1y = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
-------------------
PS don't put spaces after the commas for the points.
(2,1), (4,3)
