How to find a linear equation with two points?
To find a linear equation with two points, first calculate the slope (m) using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Then, use one of the points and the slope in the formula y = mx + b to solve for b, the y-intercept. Plug m and b back into y = mx + b, and voila, you've got your equation!

Find the slope, then plug into the equation. Done.
I've found this method super helpful for my algebra classes: Calculate the slope first, then use one of the points to solve for the y-intercept. Algebraic magic!
You just need two steps: Find the slope using (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), then use y = mx + b with one of the points to find b. Easy peasy!
