Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (5, 18) using function
notation.
Of(x) = 2x + 12
O f(x) = 6x - 12
Oy= 2x + 12
O y = 6x-12

(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{18}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{18}-\stackrel{y1}{6}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{3}}} \implies \cfrac{ 12 }{ 2 } \implies 6


\begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{6}=\stackrel{m}{ 6}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{3}) \\\\\\ y-6=6x-18\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=6x-12 \end{array}}
