Question

The points (0,2) and (1,5) are on a line which of these points is on the same line

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for two points on a line is generated from the straight line equation y = mx + b ---------------- eqn (i)

where m, the slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)  

therefore for (0,2) and (1,5) m = (5 - 2)/(1 - 0) = 3

This implies that eqn (i) can be rewritten as:

y = 3x + b ------------------- eqn (ii)

pickintg the point (0,2) and substituting into eqn (ii)

2 = 3(0) + b

this implies that b = 2

for confirmation with (1,5)

5 = 3(1) + b

b = 5 - 3 = 2

hence m = 3, b = 2

the equation is y = 3x + 2
