Equation of the line

y = 2x + 1Line through two points

Equation of the line: y = 2x + 1 (Line through two points)

Gradient is change in y divided by change in x; substituting either point gives the y-intercept.

Straight-line result

Gradient is change in y divided by change in x; substituting either point gives the y-intercept.
