Answer:
y - 5 = 3(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the line passing through a point (x', y') and slope 'm' is,
y - y' = m(x - x')
Since slope of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is represented by,
m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Therefore, slope of the line passing through (0, 2) and (1, 5) is,
m = [tex]\frac{5-2}{1-0}[/tex] = 3
Now equation of the line passing through a point (1, 5) and slope = 3 will be,
y - 5 = 3(x - 1)
Option (4) is the answer.
