Question

A line passes through (3, 7) and (6, 9). Which equation best represents the line? (4 points) y = 3 over 2 x + 5 y = 2 over 3 x + 5 y = 3x + 2 y = 2 over 3 x + 2

Answer 1

Given two points, the equation of the line may be determined by,

y - y1 = ((y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1))(x - x1)

Substituting the given values,

y - 7 = ((9 - 7) / (6 - 3))(x - 3)

Simplification will yield to an answer of,

y = 2x/3 +5

Therefore, the answer is the second choice.
