This Actually works. You will know how it works if you take algebra. Input one coordinate values and the slope, and it gives you the equation.

You don’t need to know algebra at all though…

Well, it’s actually quite simple, just a few fractions (slope formula). You don’t need to know algebra to understand it. That’s what I meant. (y = mx + b)

This makes algebra, not math, easier.

Isn’t algebra part of math? 😆

Math and algebra are both very similar:

- Taught in schools
- Used in programming
- One is a subset of the other
- Both extremely hard
