Answer: y = 2x + 50
Step-by-step explanation:
first find the slope (m):
slope = rise/run = y1-y2/x1-x2
(1,52); (2,54)
slope = (54-52)/(2-1) = 2/1 = 2; m = 2
now since we have the slope and a point, we will put it into point-slope form:
y = m(x - x1) + y1
y = 2(x - 3) + 56
y = 2x - 6 + 56
y = 2x + 50
