Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through each pair of points (- 2, - 3), (4, 5)

Answer 1

y= 4/3x -1/3

Explanation:

Find slope: y2-y1/x2-x1 = 5-(-3)/4-(-2) = 8/6 = 4/3

Use point slope to find the equation:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - (-3) = 4/3 ( x - (-2))

y = 4/3x + 8/3 + (-3)

y = 4/3x + 8/3 - 9/3

y= 4/3x -1/3
