Find the equation of the line that passes through points A and B.

Answer:
y = 2x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 : Find slope:
[tex]slope , m = \frac{y_B - y_A}{x_B - x_A}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{-1 - 7}{-3-1} \\\\= \frac{-8}{-4}\\\\ = 2[/tex]
Step 2 : Find the equation of the line :
[tex](y - y_A) = m(x - x_A) \ or \ (y - y_B) = m(x - x_B)\\\\we \ will \ consider \ points \ of \ A :\\\\[/tex]
[tex](y - 7) = 2(x -1)\\\\y - 7 = 2x - 2\\\\y = 2x - 2 + 7\\\\y = 2x + 5[/tex]
