Question

The line L passes through the points (0, –2) and (6, 1).

Find an equation of the line L.

Answer 1

The answer is y=1/2x-2

Answer 2

Some Facts about lines (1) For non vertical line L, if L passes a point (x0,y0) with slope m, then an equation of line L is y − y0 = m(x − x0). (2) If a non vertical line L passes through distinct points (x1,y1) and x2(y2), then the slope of L is m = y2 − y1 x2 − x1 . x a + y b = 1.
