Answer:

y = 6x - 2

Explanation:

Let the equation of the line be y = mx + c

m = (10 - (-8))/(2 - (-1)) = 6

sub (2, 10):

10 = 6(2) + c

c = -2

therefore, the equation of the line is y = 6x - 2

This is a question on coordinate geometry/graphs. If you wish to venture further into it/understand this topic better, you may want to follow my Instagram account (learntionary), where I post some of my own notes on certain topics and also some tips that may be useful to you :)
