Question

Write the equation of the line through the points (4,5) and (12,9)

Answer 1

y - 9 = 1/2 (x - 12)

Explanation:

find slope:

9-5 = 4, 12 - 4 = 8, slope = 1/2

put in point-slope form:

y - 9 = 1/2 (x - 12)

Answer 2

y = 1/2x + 3 is the answer

to even check plug in the points

5 = 1/2(4) +3
5=2+3
5=5

9=1/2(12) + 3
9=6 + 3
9=9
