Question

What is the slope of the line through (-2, 5) and (4, 9)?

slope =
slope =
slope = 2


What is the equation of the line with an x-intercept of -2 and a y-intercept of 1?
y = -x + 1
y = x + 1
y = 2x + 1

Answer 1

2/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope of the line is

(9-5) / (4- -2) = 4/6 = 2/3 .


If the x-intercept is -2 and the y-intercept is 1, then the equation of the line is

y = 1/2 x + 1 .

None of the choices is correct.
