First, you calculate the slope between the two points (difference of y / difference of x). Then you can use the equation, using one of the points (x1, y1):
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Just replace x1 and y1 with the coordinates of the point, and m with with the slope.
What else can I help you with?
How do you find slope if the points aren't given?
the slope is the 'm' in y=mx+b so even if the points aren't given, if there is an equation, then you can find the slope. for example, if you have an equation like this: y=2x+5 the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 5.
How do you know if a quadratic equation will have one two or no solutions How do you find a quadratic equation if you are only given the solution Is it possible to have different quadratic equation?
Draw the graph of the equation. the solution is/are the points where the line cuts the x(horisontal) axis .
When two planes equation given and one parametric equation is given how can you find the plane equation?
If you have two equations give AND one parametric equation why do you need to find yet another equation?
How do you write the equation of a line that passes through two points given an example is it possible to find this on a calculator?
No, a calculator is useless, unelss you are dealing with values for x and y which require some difficult working out. Use the general form of a linear equation using two points on the line: y - y1 = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)(x - x1), where the points given are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
Where an equation crosses the horizontal axis?
An equation crosses the horizontal axis at points where the output value (usually represented by (y)) is zero. These points are known as the roots or x-intercepts of the equation. To find these points, you set the equation equal to zero and solve for the variable, typically represented as (x). Graphically, this represents the points where the graph of the equation intersects the x-axis.

How do you find Slope intercept equation of given two points?
Use the equation; y=mx+b where m is the slope Use your 2 points as y and b (intercept)
What is the least needed information to find the equation of a line?
The least needed information can be given in different formats, which are equivalent: -- the slope of the line and its intercept on either axis -- the slope of the line and any one point on it -- any two points on the line

How do you find the equation of a parabola in standard form given 3 points?
I suggest that the simplest way is as follows:Assume the equation is of the form y = ax2 + bx + c.Substitute the coordinates of the three points to obtain three equations in a, b and c.Solve these three equations to find the values of a, b and c.
How do you find the equation of a tangent line?
In order to find the equation of a tangent line you must take the derivative of the original equation and then find the points that it passes through.
Is it easier to solve an equation for y first before finding points?
It is always easier to use an equation to find points since all you would have to do is substitute values into the equation to find the final unknown value that will tell the point. To get the equation, however, you would usually need to have some points at the start to help derive the equation in the end.
Find the equation of line whose intercepts are-16 for x and y respectively?
The equation is -x -16 equals y. You find this by using the equation for a line mx plus b equals y, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept. From the information given, you have two points which are 0.-16 ans -16,0. You can find 'm' the slope with the equation y2-y1/x2-x1, or -16-0/0- -16. This is -16/16 or -1 for m and the y-intercept is given as -16. So, substitute into the line equation these values to get the answer given.
