To find a line that goes through two given points first find the slope between the points. (y-y)over (x-x) Then use a formula to find the rest.
I use the slope intercept formula and find "b" the y-intercept.
Let's try one.
(2,7) and (3,10)
7-10=-3
2-3=-1
-3/-1=3 the slope
7=3(2)+b
7=6+b
7-6=b
1=b
SO y=3x+1 is the formula for a line going through (2,7) and (3,10)

How do you find coordinates of a line from an equation without graphing?
By substitution
How can you find the coordinates of two lines mathematically given the equation of both?
Subtract the equation of one line from the equation of the other
What does the equation allows you to find on any point on the line?
The x and y coordinates
How do you find a point lying on the line?
Substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation of the line. If the result is true, then the point is on the line.
What is a quadratic equation when graphed?
