You cannot.

You need four coordinates (two horizontal and two vertical) to uniquely identify two points. Having identified the two points, you can determine the slope (or gradient) as

[difference in vertical coords]/[difference in horizontal coords]

Then use this slope (m) and either of the two points in the equation y = mx + c to determine the value of c.
