Enter the equation of the following using line in slope-intercept form.
Two points on the line: (4, -2) and (-2, 4).
------------
Step 1, find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx
==================
Step 2, use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
Step 3, solve for y ---> y = mx + b where b is the y-intercept
