We have the next two points:
- (1/2,5)
- (5/2,9)
And we must use the point-slope formula to write an equation of a line in slope-intercept
First, we need to calculate the slope of the line using the point-slope formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} y_2-y_1=m(x_2-x_1) \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \end{gathered}[/tex]Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points
Now, replacing the points
[tex]m=\frac{9-5}{\frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{4}{\frac{4}{2}}=\frac{4}{2}=2[/tex]Now, we must replace the slope and one of the two points in the point-slope formula:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]Replacing m = 2 and (1/2, 5)
[tex]y-5=2(x-\frac{1}{2})[/tex]Finally, we must simplify to obtain the slope-intercept form
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-5=2x-1 \\ y=2x-1+5 \\ y=2x+4 \end{gathered}[/tex]ANSWER:
y = 2x + 4
