Substitute x and y as 2 and 1 and then note down that equation. Do the same with 3 and 4 . What you will then get are simultaneous linear equations in two variables. Solve them for x1 and y1 and then substitute the found values in the original eqaution

would my answer be d?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Well first find the slope, using the following formula: \[m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\] where your coordinates represent \[(x_1,y_1)~~\text{and}~~(x_2,y_2)\] Once you manage to get that, plug in m and your first coordinates in the point - slope form: \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

y=3x-5?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Which one from your options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my answer d?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

No, please go over what I've said, it will take you 5 minutes to do, rather than wasting time to guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m=3

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes! Now you have the slope

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Now do the next step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y−1=3(x−2) so my answer is a?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thnx

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Wasn't that so much better than just guessing? :)
