Answer: look at explanation <3

Explanation:

Steps to find the equation of a line from two points:

Find the slope using the slope formula

Use the slope and one of the points to solve for the y-intercept (b).

One of your points can replace the x and y, and the slope you just calculated replaces the m of your equation y = mx + b. Then b is the only variable left. Use the tools you know for solving for a variable to solve for b.

Once you know the value for m and the value for b, you can plug these into the slope-intercept form of a line (y = mx + b) to get the equation for the line.
