how to compute separate line 2 dimensional points

hi all i have set of points and class + -1 i want to calculate the line i want to use 1. direct linear algebra (inverse matrix , cross product) 2. use gradient descent i dont want to use the svm function or quadratic programming
x=[ 1 2 ; 3 3 ; 4 5; 45 17 ; 33 20];
label=[ 1 ;1 ;1;-1 ;-1];
gscatter(x(:,1),x(:,2),label)
so how to calculate the line wx+b , i need w,b

Once you have the plot, go to tools -> Basic fitting
select the data (1 or -1 in your case), linear and click in the bottom arrow to get the values of your parameters. You will see you can save to workspace.
but it fits to one of the set of points and not the seperate line !! , also i dont have the process for compute the line
Given X and Y, this function will give you your 'w' and 'b'
function [a b] = droite_reg(X,Y)
% Linear fitting
% Y = a + bX
n = length (Y);
sumY = sum(Y);
sumX = sum(X);
X2 = X.^2;sumX2 = sum(X2);
Y2 = Y.^2; sumY2 = sum(Y2);
XY = X.*Y; sumXY = sum(XY);
%slope estimation
a = (sumXY - ((sumX * sumY)/n))/ (sumX2 - ((sumX^2)/n));
% b estimation
b = (sumY/n)-(a.*(sumX/n));
% r^2
r2 = ((sumXY - ((sumX.*sumY)/n)).^2)/((sumX2-((sumX.^2)/n)).*(sumY2 - ((sumY.^2)/n)));
end

To get your two sets of data differentiated, you can try something like:
plot(x(label==1,1),x(label==1,2))
[w,b]=droite_reg(x(label==1,1),x(label==1,2))
hold on
plot(x(label==-1,1),x(label==-1,2),'r')
[w1,b1]=droite_reg(x(label==-1,1),x(label==-1,2))

it seems you go in the correct answer but stil the line is not between alsow what is theory (article )
x=[ 1 2 ; 3 3 ; 4 5; 45 17 ; 33 20];
label=[ 1 ;1 ;1;-1 ;-1];
gscatter(x(:,1),x(:,2),label)
%w = label'*x;
[a b] = droite_reg(x(:,1),x(:,2))
xvec=[-1:0.5:30];
yvec = b*xvec+a;
hold on;plot(xvec,yvec,'k-.');
xvec=[-1:0.5:30];
yvec = a*xvec+b;
hold on;plot(xvec,yvec,'k-.');
i need to seperate plane like in svm and not like in the figure

You might want to look into nnd4pr or perceptron in the matlab help section.
There's a demo abt 2 inout classifiers

as you see i need the black line and not the fit line
