Answer:

y - 6 = (5/6)(x - 4)

Explanation:

Write an equation that represents the line through the points (-2,1) and (4,6)

As we move from (-2, 1) to (4, 6), x increases by 6 and y increases by 5.

Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise/run = 5/6.

Using (4, 6) as one point on the line, the equation of the line in point-slope form is

y - 6 = (5/6)(x - 4)
