gollark: Divide the difference in Y by the difference in X, yes.
gollark: Take two of the points, subtract one's Y coordinate from the other one's Y coordinate, and do the same for the X coordinates, and divide the difference in Y coords by the difference in X coords.
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.
