How to Find a Linear Equation
To find the linear equation of a line, you need two things: slope (m) and y-intercept (b). With these, you can plug into the formula y=mx+b. For slope, use m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) if you have two points. Solving for y-intercept, if you have a point (x1, y1), plug it in: b = y1 - mx1.

I once saved a math quiz by finding a linear equation with the two given points. Just plot your points, find the slope, and remember y = mx + b. You're golden!
Two points? Use the formula. One point and a slope? Plug it in. It's math magic!
The easiest way to find a linear equation is to have a point and a slope, then use y = mx + b!
All you need is a straight edge and a calculator to find a linear equation. Boom!
