Or see a basic geometry book, where you will find a formula such as:
(x-x1)/(y-y1) = (x2-x1)/(y2-y1)
for the equation of a line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
Just watch out for y2==y1 and the inevitable division by zero. Might be
better to ask what you want the line for in order to find a
representation that better suits your need - a single point and slope,
perhaps.
