y\text{ = }(1)/(4)x\text{ + 1}(3)/(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 1/4

slope = (1, 2)

If we are to find the equation of the line, we apply the formula:

Equation of line: y = mx + c

where m = slope

c = intercept

Inserting the points and slope into the equation, we will find the intercept

(1, 2) = (x, y)

2 = 1/4 (1) + c

2 = 1/4 + c

c = 2 - 1/4

c = 1 3/4

The equation of line becomes:


y\text{ = }(1)/(4)x\text{ + 1}(3)/(4)
