Question 4: A line passes through the points (5, 3) and (2, 5).
a) Find the equation of the line
slope m = diffy/diffx
m = 2/-3 = -2/3
Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.
y-3 = (-2/3)*(x-5)
======================
b) Graph the line using the above two points.
Plot the points, draw a line thru them.
