Answer:
y = x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 5)
m = =
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 5) ⇒ c = 5
y = x + 5 ← equation of line

Answer:
d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two points with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given as
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
So, the distance between point (2,0) and a point (x,y)
d = √[(x - 2)² + (y - 0)²]
d = √[(x - 2)² + (y)²]
But the point (x,y) is on the line y = 3x - 1
We can substitute for y in the distance between points equation.
d(x) = √[(x - 2)² + (3x - 1)²]
QED!
