Sorry, the backward words have to be actual words, not just any backward spellings. Your words don’t count.

The most general equation of the straight line passing through the points (a₁,b₁) and  (a₂,b₂) (where either a₁ ≠ a₂ or b₁ ≠ b₂ (or both)) is:

If a₁ = a₂, you get the vertical line x = a₁. If a₁ ≠ a₂, you get a line of the form y = mx +c.
