Given points are .
First, find the slope.
\Substitute 1 for y2,
3 for y1, 2 for x2, and
2 for x1 in slope formula.
(Product of two same signs is positive)
(Add:
)
(Add:

(Simplify)
(Cancel common terms)
You know the slope and a point on the line, so use point - slope form
with either given point to write an equation of line.
