Answer:
The equation of the line is y - 3 = 2.5(x - 2) ⇒ D
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of the slope of a line is m = , where
- (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line
The point-slope form of a line is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where
- (x1, y1) is a point on the line
From the given figure
∵ The line passes through points (2, 3) and (0, -2)
∴ x1 = 2 and y1 = 3
∴ x2 = 0 and y2 = -2
→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope to find it
∵ m =
∴ m = 2.5
→ Substitute the values of m, x1, y1 in the form of the equation above
∵ m = 2.5, x1 = 2, y1 = 3
∵ y - 3 = 2.5(x - 2)
∴ The equation of the line is y - 3 = 2.5(x - 2)
