Write an equation of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (4, 8)

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

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
