Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y -2 = 3/2(x -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula tells you the slope:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (8 -2)/(5 -1) = 6/4 = 3/2

Using the first point in the point-slope form ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line through (h, k) with slope m

  y -2 = 3/2(x -1)
