Question

write the equation of the line that passes tnrough the points (-2,0) and (1,2). put your answer on dully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizantal line.

Answer 1

Equation of a line: y=mx+b

Points: (-2,0) and (1,2)

As a first step, you have to calculate the slope of the line:

Now, by the point-slope form of the line equation:

*You can use any of the two points.

Y-Y0=m(X-X0)

Y-2=2/3(X-1) ---> This is the point-slope form

Y-2=2/3X-2/3

Y=2/3X+4/3
