Give an equation containing (3,1) & (5,2) in slope intercept form. First you must get the slope:

2-1 1

5-3=2=slope

Now plug in the X and Y to get the Y-intercept:

1=3x1/2+__ 

3x1/2=1.5

1-1.5=-.5*=y-intercept

*you want to change .5 to ½ so that every fraction is in the same form.

Now put it all together in slope-intercept form:

Y=1/2X+-1/2
