1) A(1;2) and slope=3.

slope-interception form is y=s*x+i, where s - slope, i - interception.

if to substitute the given coordinates and slope into the equation, then 2=3*1+i, ⇒ i=-1. It means, the required equation is:

y=3x-1.

2) A(1;2) and B(3;-2).

the common form is:


(x-X_B)/(X_A-X_B) =(y-Y_B)/(Y_A-Y_B).

If to substitute the given coordinates into the common form, then:


(x-3)/(1-3) =(y+2)/(2+2) ; \ => \ (x-3)/(-2) =(y+2)/(4); \ => \ y=-2x+4.
