I'm sure it's possible, as an example if there were only 3 points:
(0,0), (1,2), and (2,1)
f(x)= a + b*x + c*x^2
3 equations, 3 unknowns

f(x) = 3.5*x - 1.5*x^2 hits all 3 points

so it should be possible with a 9 by 9 matrix instead of 3 by 3

But, again, it wouldn't be a very pretty solution or a simple equation; and I'm suspecting it doesn't fit the format you're looking for.
