Easiest point would be the midpoint, with
x=%280%2B8%29%2F2, and y=%2818000%2B4500%29%2F2%29
The slope is the change in Y divides by the change in x:
slope=%284500-18000%29%2F%288-0%29

We'll find the slope first:

m = %28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29


m = %284500-18000%29%2F%288-0%29

m = %284500-18000%29%2F%288-0%29

m = %28-13500%29%2F8

m = -3375%2F2

Now we use tio point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 18000 = -3375%2F2(x - 0)

y - 18000 = -3375%2F2x

y = -3375%2F2x + 18000

Just substitute random values for x into that equation,

(2, 14625),  (-6,28125), (-500,861750), 

(10,1125), (8,4500), (2222,-3731625)

Those are all points on the line.
