1. The problem is to find the equation of a straight line graph given certain conditions.
2. The general formula for a straight line is $$y = mx + c$$ where $m$ is the slope and $c$ is the y-intercept.
3. Important rules:
- The slope $m$ represents the steepness of the line.
- The y-intercept $c$ is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
4. Example question: Find the equation of a line passing through points $(1,2)$ and $(3,6)$.
5. Calculate the slope $m$ using the formula $$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{6 - 2}{3 - 1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$$.
6. Use point-slope form to find $c$: $$y = mx + c \Rightarrow 2 = 2(1) + c \Rightarrow c = 2 - 2 = 0$$.
7. Therefore, the equation of the line is $$y = 2x$$.
This is a typical straight line graph problem involving finding the equation from two points.
