This is what's called the explicit function for a straight line, meaning that you calculate one coordinate based on the value of the other coordinate. The explicit representation comes with a few shortcomings that can be confusing at times when you deal with 2D geometrical elements. For example you wouldn't be able to draw a vertical line with an equation like what you posted! Also, for near vertical lines you'd have to take care what values of x would produce a valid y - you'll find that most values of x that lie well within the screen corrdinate range will produce y values that are way outside the screen.

The implicit representation avoids this confusion, but it is often much easier to use the parametric representation: In this case, you have two points, A and B. The parametric representation of a line through these two points is:
P(t) = A + t*(B-A)
. This equation is in fact a set of equations, referring to the two coordinates, x and y:
P(t).x = A.x + t*(B.x-A.x)
P(t).y = A.y + t*(B.y-A.y)

If you implement a function to calculate P(t), using the formulas above, each value of t will yield a point P(t) somewhere on this line. For t==0 you will find that P(0)==A, and for t==1 you will find that P(1)==B.

Of course, you have to be careful with these calculations when dealing with pixel coordinates: you have to convert these coordinates to float values first, or else the rounding effects may lead to some unexpected results.
