First, you find the slope.
This is done by plugging in to the equation y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Let 6 and 4 by x2 and y2 and 4 and 1 be x1 and y1.
4-1 / 6-4 = 3/2
The slope is 3/2.
Now, y = 3/2 x +b
To solve for b, plug in a point.
I plugged in (6, 4)
4 = 3/2(6) + b
4 = 9 + b
-5 = b
So, the equation is y = 3/2 x - 5
Hope this helps
