Given the pair of points on a line, p1(1,1) and p2(-6,9), find the slope of the line and then using the slope and one of the points, find the equation of the line and write it as y=mx+b.
------------------
Slope m = diffy/diffx
----
Then use y = mx + b to find b, the y-intercept.
=============
I don't need the practice.
