Thread: Linear Law

I have plotted a Linear graph, using P1 and P2. I now need to determin by calculation the "Law of the line".
P1 (-2, -6.2) and P2 ( 3, 4.8)

Can anyone help?

Can you tell what the heck Law of the line could possibly be?

I think its:
Gradient = y divided by x

Given the points the line determined is

if

That is normally referred to as the "slope" of the line.
