Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A line goes through the points (-2, 4) and (8, 9). We see that x increases by 10 and y increases by 5.
Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 5/10 = 1/2 (the slope)
Starting with the point slope equation y - k = m(x - h) and substituting 9 for y, 8 for x and 1/2 for m, we get:
y - 9 = (1/2)(x - 8) (point-slope form)
y = (1/2)x + 5 (slope-intercept form)
