Equation of the line, slope, interseption, points

For this case we have that the equation of the line of the slope-interseption form is given by the form y = mx + b. Where: "m" is the slope and "b" is the cut point with the "y" axis. The slope is given by the following equation:

, to find it, we need two points.

If we have:

We substitute in the formula:

So, the equation of the line is of the form:

To find the cut point, substitute any of the points in the equation:

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

The equation of the line is of the form:

Where "-18" is the slope and "624" is the cut point with the y-axis.
