Answer:
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + 9
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 = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 12 )
m = [tex]\frac{12-6}{2-(-2)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{2+2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] , then
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation.
Using (2, 12 ) , then
12 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 12 - 3 = 9
y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + 9 ← equation of line
