Question

25 POINTS!!!

Find an equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 1) and (3, 3). Write your equation in either point-slope form, standard form, or slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y = (2/5)x + 9/5

Explanation:

First we find the slope of the line that passes through these points.

m = (1 - 3)/(-2 - 3) = -2/(-5) = 2/5

Now we use the slope-intercept form to find the equation of the line.

y = mx + b

3 = (2/5)(3) + b

15/5 = 6/5 + b

b = 9/5

y = (2/5)x + 9/5
