Question

What is the equation of the line which includes points (-3, 2) and (1, 6)?
A. y = x - 5
B. y = x + 5
C.
D.

Answer 1

Without doing the whole question out, you can just plug in both sets of points to see what works:

A) 2 = -3 - 5
2 = - 8
Therefore A does not work.

B)
2 = -3 + 5
2 = 2

6 = 1 + 5
6 = 6

B works with both points, therefore B. (y = x +5) is the answer.

Hope this helped!
