Question

Find the equation for the line that passes through the points and . State your

equation with whole numbers and/or fractions, not decimals.

Answer 1

y = 2x.

Explanation:

The slope = (6 - (-4))/(3 - (-2))

= (6 + 4)/(3+2)

= 10/5

= 2.

Using this and the point (3, 6) we have:

y - 6 = 2(x - 3)

y = 2x - 6 + 6

y = 2x.
