Find the equation of the line through the points (-2, 1) and (-1/2, 4)

A.

y = 2x - 3

B.

y = 2x + 5

C.

y = 3x - 2

D.

y = 2x + 1

Correct Answer: y = 2x + 5

Explanation

y − y1/x−x1 = y2 − y1/x2 − x1 y−1/(x−−2) = 4−1/(−1/2 + 2) = y − 1/x + 2 = 3/(3/2) y = 2x + 5

y − y1/x−x1 = y2 − y1/x2 − x1 y−1/(x−−2) = 4−1/(−1/2 + 2) = y − 1/x + 2 = 3/(3/2) y = 2x + 5
