Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (1,3) and (2,5)

Answer 1

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-3}{2-1}\implies \cfrac{2}{1}\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-3=2(x-1) \\\\\\ y-3=3x-2\implies y=2x+1`
