Answer:
the desired equation is y = 4x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move to the right from (-9, -35) to (2, 9), x increases by 11 and y increases by 44. Thus, the slope of the line in question is
m = rise / run = 44/11 = 4.
Using the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, we substitute 4 for m, 2 for x and 9 for y, obtaining:
y = mx + b → 9 = 4(2) + b. Thus, b = 1, and the desired equation is
y = 4x + 1
