jim_thompson5910 · Answer

plot the points and draw a line through them

vera_ewing · Answer

@jim_thompson5910 Did you just do it in that picture?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes I used paint to add the points

jdoe0001 · Answer

yea as jim_thompson5910  said though
for the LINEar equation, all you need it to grab two points, plot it
see if they'd touch each other

Ok I see. Thanks !! :)
