The line CD is defined by the points C(-2,1) and D(10,7).
Find the equation of the line CD.

The equation of the line is; y = 0.5·x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The points that define the line CD = C(-2, 1) and D(10, 7)

The equation of the line can be presented in the form of the general equation of a straight line, y = m·x + c

Where;

m = The slope of the line =

c = The y-intercept

From the obtained slope, m = 0.5, using point D(10, 7), the equation of the line in point and slope form is therefore;

y - 7 = 0.5·(x - 10)

From the above equation of the line in point and slope form, we get the general form of the equation of the line as follows

y - 7 = 0.5·(x - 10) = 0.5·x - 5

y - 7 = 0.5·x - 5

y = 0.5·x - 5 + 7 = 0.5·x + 2

y = 0.5·x + 2

The equation of the straight line in general is y = 0.5·x + 2.

your answer would be 10x - 1
