Lesson 1.4: Writing Linear Equations

Question 9 • (OC27) MATH COLL LIB ARTS-1207350-S1-Maguire-D'Aquino

Line GH passes through points (2, 5) and (6, 9). Which equation represents line GH?

Answer
A
y = x + 3
B
y = x – 3
C
y = 3x + 3
D
y = 3x – 3

Explanation

The slope through (2, 5) and (6, 9) is (9 − 5) ÷ (6 − 2) = 1. So the line has the form y = x + b. Substituting (2, 5) gives 5 = 2 + b, so b = 3. The equation is y = x + 3, choice A.
