Answer:
y = 2/3x + 1 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plug in the points:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2 - 0) / (1 + 2)
2 / 3
= 2/3
Then, plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:
y = mx + b
2 = 2/3(1) + b
2 = 2/3 + b
1 1/3 = b
Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b
y = 2/3x + 1 1/3 is the equation of the line
The actual height is: 1 1/2 * 2 = 3 feet
The actual length is: 5 1/8 * 2 = 10.25 feet
hope this helps you.
