Answer:
- x + 2y = 1
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 ) = (- 1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 2)
m = [tex]\frac{2-0}{3+1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], thus
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (3, 2) , then
2 = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] + c ⇒ c = 2 - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 2
2y = x + 1 ( subtract x from both sides )
- x + 2y = 1 ← in standard form
