Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (4,3) and (2, -1)?

y = 4x -13
y = 6x+4
y = 2x-5
y = 1/2 x -2

Answer 1

y=2x-5

Explanation:

By using two-points form:

y-y1/y2-y1=x-x1/x2-x1

p(x1,y1)=(4,3)

p(x2,y2)=(2,-1)

Subtitute points in formula:

y-3/-1-3=x-4/2-4

y-3/-4=x-4/-2

y-3/-2=x-4/-1

1(y-3)=2(x-4)

y-3=2x-8

y=2x-8+3

y=2x-5
