Hi,

find the equation of the line that contains these two points.

       P1 = (3, 4) and 

       P2 = (6, 6)    m = (6-4)/6-3) = 2/3    m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29   

 %28y-4%29+=+%282%2F3%29%28x-3%29                          y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29

or y+=+%282%2F3%29x+%2B+2

standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is y = mx + b  

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
