Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 6x - 14

Explanation:

To find the equation of this line, start by using the two points with the slope formula to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (16 - 4)/(5 - 3)

m = 12/2

m = 6

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 6(x - 3)

y - 4 = 6x - 18

y = 6x - 14
