The equation (deterministic) for a straight line is

y = β0 + β1x

If the line passes through the point (-2, 4), then x = -2, y = 4 must satisfy the equation; that is,

 4= β0 + β1(-2)

Similarly, if the line passes through the point (4, 6), then x = 4, y = 6 must satisfy the equation; that is,

6= β0 + β1x(4)

Use these two equations to solve for β0 and β1 ; then find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 4) and (4, 6).
