A line passes through (2, −1)(2, −1) and (4, 5)(4, 5). which answer is the equation of the line? −3x y=17−3x y=17 −3x 5y=13−3x 5y=13 −3x y=−7−3x y=−7 −3x 5y=−13
Equation of a line through two points is given by y - y1 = ((y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1))(x - x1) y - (-1) = ((5 - (-1))/(4 - 2))(x - 2) y + 1 = ((5 + 1)/2)(x - 2) y + 1 = 6/2 (x - 2) y + 1 = 3(x - 2) = 3x - 6 -3x + y = -6 - 1 -3x + y = -7
