(1,5) (-2,3)

Difference in y/x =

y= 5-3 = 2
x= 1-(-2) = 3

gradient = 2/3

y=2/3x+c

substitute one of the points for x any y (-2,3) gives:
3=2/3(-2)+c ;

rearrange to give:
3 = -4/3 + c

so c is
3+4/3 = c

13/3 = c

Now put all together to give the answer
y=2/3x+13/3

Answer 2

sorry had a funny 5 minutes: y=2/3x+13/3 is the answer
