Answer:
y = 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 8)
m =
=
= 2 , then
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (1, 2 )
2 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 2 – 2 = 0
y = 2x ← equation of line
Answer:
2x-y=0 / y=2x
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-3y=0, 2x-y=0
