Answer:

y=2x-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

typically, the equation of the line is written in slope intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

first, we need to find the slope (m) of the line

the formula for slope calculated from two points is given as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we have two points: (1,1.5) and (2,3.5) and we can label them

x1=1

y1=1.5

x2=2

y2=3.5

now plug into the formula:

m=(3.5-1.5)/(2-1)

m=2/1

m=2

the slope of the line is 2

here's our equation so far:

y=2x+b

now we need to find b

since the line will pass through the points (1, 1.5) and (2, 3.5), we can plug either one of them into the equation to solve for

Let's use (1, 1.5)

substitute 1.5 as y and 1 as x

1.5=2(1)+b

1.5=2+b

subtract 2 from both sides

-0.5=b

therefore, our equation is:

y=2x-0.5

hope this helps!
