Question

Find the equation of the line passing through the indicated two points. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
-(3, -7)and (8, 3) 
A) $y = 10 x - 37$
B) $y = 2 x - 13$
C) $y = 5 x - 22$
D) $x = 3$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the line passing through points (3, -7) and (8, 3) is calculated as $m = \frac{3 - (-7)}{8 - 3} = \frac{10}{5} = 2$. Using the point-slope form $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$ with one of the points, say (3, -7), we get $y + 7 = 2(x - 3)$, which simplifies to $y = 2x - 13$.
