Most of the time:
Equation of the line containing points (p,v) and (h,k) can be written as
y-k=%28%28k-v%29%2F%28h-p%29%29%28x-h%29.

You would substitute your values, simplify, and put into the form of equation you need.

IN YOUR EXAMPLE, the above is not possible.
YOUR answer to your example is highlight%28highlight%28x=8%29%29
