Default Can you chart an equation (y=mx+b)?

Excel graphs points, not equations. For a straight line, you would only
need to calculate the first and last points on the line and plot them as
an "XY (Scatter)" chart with points connected by a line. Alternately,
Tushar Mehta has written an add-in for plotting functions

I am trying to set up a graph in MS Excel where you can enter in the values
for X and B and it will graph the line, like a graphing caluclator would. Is
that possible?
