Approach by 2 formulas; slope m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and the equation of the line is (y-y1)= m*(x-x1) where point 1 is (x1,y1) and point 2 is (x2,y2)

The formula for a line is: Y = mX + b
In general, a linear equation CANNOT be made to go through three points. That will only happen if the three points are collinear and in that case, the equation of the line will only require two points.
The equation is x = 2
So that you can plot out the points of a straight line on graph paper.
Points: 0 2 and 6 0 Equation: y = -1/3x+2
