What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (2, –1) and (6, 1)?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Have you heard of slope? To find the equation, use the formula:\[\frac{ y _{2- y1} }{ x _{2-x _{1}} }\]

I dont understand how to read those equations:

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

In other words, y2-y1/x2-x1. Have you heard of that before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
