For the given pair of points, find the equation of the line y = ax + b that goes through the points by solving a system of
equations.
-(3, 2) and (4, 3)
A) y = x + 2
B) y = -x - 1
C) y = x + 5
D) y = x - 1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope (a) is calculated as (3-2)/(4-3) = 1. Using point (3, 2) in y = ax + b, we get 2 = 1(3) + b, so b = -1. Thus, the equation is y = x - 1.
