x1 y1 x2 y2
2 0 0 3

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%09-0++++++%09%29%2F%28%09-3++++++%09%29=%28x%09-2++++++%09%29+%2F%28%092++++++%09%29

+%092++++++%09%28y%2B%09-0++++++%09%29+=%09-3++++++%09%28x-%092++++++%09%29

2 y+ -0 = -3 x+ 6

2 y= -3 x +6
/ 2
y= -3/ 2 x+ 3
