(–2, –3) and (–4, 4)
of these points, which on is x1, x2, y1 and y2?

x1=-2,y1=-3
x2=-4,y2=4
these points can give u equation of a line, if that's what u r looking for

First realize that points are always (x,y).
Second, the x2 versus x 1 is up to you, just make sure the y2 and y1 go with it.
Ie: (-2,-3) can either be x1, y1 or x2, y2 which will make (-4,4) the opposite.

(x1,y1) usually refers to the first point, so x1 = -2 and y1 = -3
(x2,y2) refers to the second point, so x2 = -4 and y2 = 4

By convention, the first coordinates are (x1, y1). The second coordinates are (x2, y2)
So:
x1 = -2
x2 = -3
y1 = -4
y2 = 4

it really doesn't matter except x1 goes with y1 and x2 goes with y2
