Algebra: Equation of a Line

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Given two points on a line, find the value for slope using the rise over run formula. Then, find the y-intercept by plugging one of the point values into the equation of a line. Finally, these values are put into the equation of a line y = mx+ b.
