Hi I would like to write functions that return equations. I would like
to know what the preferred method in SAGE for doing so is.

This is what I have now:
def line_two_points(point1,point2):
    r"""
    Returns an equation of a line passing through point1 and point2.

    EXAMPLES:
        sage: line_two_points((3,4),(8,7))
        'y = 3/5*x + 11/5'
        sage: line_two_points((9,3),(6,7))
        'y = -4/3*x + 15'
        sage: line_two_points((2,5),(8,9))
        'y = 2/3*x + 11/3'

    AUTHOR: Timothy Clemans
    """
    return "y = %s" %
str((point2[1]-point1[1])/(point2[0]-point1[0])*x +
(point1[1]-(point2[1]-point1[1])/(point2[0]-point1[0])*point1[0]))

I don't want the ' at the beginning and end.
