Find an equation of the line that passes through the two given points. If possible write your equation in slope-intercept form.
(3,2) (5,6)
-----
slope = (6-2)/(5-3) = 4/2 = 2
---------------------------------
Linear Form: y = mx + b
You know m and you know y = 2 when x = 3.
Solve for "b":
2 = 2(3)+b
b = -4
-----------------
Equation:
y = 2x -4
