Find the equation (in terms of x) of the line through the points (-2,1) and(2,9)
Y=

y = 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways to find this equation:

The first way:  We have: y = ax + b (this is the line, right?)

The line is through the point (-2, 1) so we have:

1 = (-2)a + b      (1)

The line is also through the point (2, 9) so we have:

9 = 2a + b.       (2)

From (1) and (2) we get a equals 2, b equals 5. Then:
y = 2x + 5

The second way:

Let A(-2, 1) and B(2, 9), then AB = (4, 8).

=> The normal vector of this line is n = (-2, 1).

The line that is through the points A(-2, 1) and B(2, 9), and has the normal vector n=(-2, 1) has the equation:

i believe a. 12x≥120 is the answer
