Does anyone know how to get line spacing in a paragraph to be greater than one and half spacing and less than double spacing?
I tried \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{value} but it did not work.

For anyone in future who comes looking, and as this didn't quite fit in a comment, the spacing between the paragraph and the align can be reduced by using a \vspace with negative spacing after the \singlespacing. Note that there must be a blank line between the preceding paragraph and the \singlespacing otherwise it will make that paragraph single spaced.
By using
text
\singlespacing
\vspace{-0.8cm}
\begin{align}
y_1 &= ax_1 + b\\
y_2 &= ax_2 + b
\end{align}
\doublespacing
text
I was able to get reasonable results.
The start of environment longtable can be redefined to add \singlespacing:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\preto\longtable{\par\singlespacing}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[2]
\begin{longtable}{lp{10cm}}
1&a\tabularnewline
2&b\tabularnewline
3&\lipsum[2]
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
