For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have two points through which the line passes:
We found the slope:
Substituting we have:
Thus, the equation is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:
Finally, the equation is:
