    Problems

    Equagesic was discontinued in the United States, possibly because of its toxic profile and more adequate drugs available. Specifically, meprobamate is more toxic than benzodiazepines, which are also useful as a muscle relaxant.

    gollark: <@379441093558927391> I'm assuming that what you want to do is find the equation of the straight line going through those points. So to do that you need the gradient.
    gollark: <@379441093558927391>
    gollark: Once you have the gradient you just need to work out the y intercept, so put that into the straight line equation (y = mx + c), substitute in the x and y from one of the points, solve for c (y intercept), and you're done.
    gollark: =tex m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}
    gollark: Anyway, that's the gradient.
