Answer:

y = 3/4x -7/4 or y = 0.75x -1.75

Explanation:

The two point form of the equation of a line is useful when you are given 2 points and asked for the equation.

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) +y1

y = (35 -14)/(49 -21)·(x -21) +14 . . . . . . fill in given points

y = 21/28(x -21) +14 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify a bit

y = 3/4(x -21) +14 . . . . . . . . . . . reduce the fraction

y = 3/4x -15 3/4 +14 . . . . . . . .eliminate parentheses

y = 3/4x -7/4 or y = 0.75x -1.75
