Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (3, 2) and (-1, 4).

Answer 1

First, find the slope of the line using the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2) / (-1 - 3)
m = 2 / -4
m = -1/2

Now, use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = (-1/2)(x - 3)
y - 2 = (-1/2)x + 3/2
y = (-1/2)x + 7/2

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the points (3, 2) and (-1, 4) is y = (-1/2)x + 7/2.

Answer 3

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's correct that.

Given points (3, 2) and (-1, 4), we first need to find the slope of the line passing through these points using the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2) / (-1 - 3)
m = 2 / -4
m = -1/2

Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = (-1/2)(x - 3)
y - 2 = -1/2x + 3/2
y = -1/2x + 3/2 + 2
y = -1/2x + 3/2 + 4/2
y = -1/2x + 7/2

Therefore, the corrected equation of the line passing through the points (3, 2) and (-1, 4) is y = -1/2x + 7/2.
