A line passes through the points (-2,1) and (4,4). Find the equation of the line in the form y = mx + c

In the form y = mx + c, m stands for the slope (or gradient) of the line, and c for its y-intercept. Since we are given two points that are on the line, we can figure out its slope by looking at the verti...
