Question

(05.02)

A line passes through (2, 8) and (4, 12). Which equation best represents the line?
oy-x+6
=
2
y = 2x + 7
y = 2x + 4
oy-*x+10
=

Answer 1

⊕ y=2x+4

Explanation:

1) all the answers are provided in slope-interception form, then

2) the slope of the required line is: (12-8)/(4-2)=2. The required line is like to y=2x+??;

3) if the points (2;8) and (4;12) belong to the line required, then the point (0;4) also belongs to this one. It means, the interception is 4;

4) finally, the line required is y=2x+4.

PS. note, the suggested solution is not the only way.
