x1 y1 x2 y2
0 3 4 5

The general equation of the line when co-ordinates of two points are given is

%28y-%09y1%29%2F%28%09y1-y2%29+=+%28x-x1%29%2F%28x1-x2%29




%28y%09-3++++++%09%29%2F%28%09-2++++++%09x%09-0++++++%09%29+%2F%28%09-4++++++%09%29

+%09-4++++++%09%28y%2B%09-3++++++%09%29+=%09-2++++++%09%28x-%090++++++%09%29

-4 y+ 12 = -2 x+ -0

-4 y= -2 x -12
/ -4
1 y= 1/ 2 x+ 3
