Anytime we need to get the equation of a line, we need 2 things:

 a point a slopeSo, what do we do if we are just given 2 points and no slope?No problem -- we'll just use the 2 points to pop the slope using this guy:

Check it out:

Let's find the equation of the line that passes through the points

(1,1/2) and (-1,-1)

This one's a 2-stepper...

STEP 1:  Find the slope

STEP 2:  Now, use the point-slope formula with one of our points,
