A line passes through (2, 3) and (6, 11). What is its equation?

A y = 2x − 1

B y = 2x + 1

C y = (1/2)x + 2

D y = 3x − 3

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Slope = (11−3)/(6−2) = 8/4 = 2. Using point-slope: y − 3 = 2(x − 2) → y = 2x − 1.

💡 Why is A) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "A line passes through (2, 3) and (6, 11). What is its equation?" is Option A: y = 2x − 1.

The other options — B) y = 2x + 1, C) y = (1/2)x + 2, D) y = 3x − 3 — are incorrect for this SAT Exam Prep question. As explained above: Slope = (11−3)/(6−2) = 8/4 = 2. Using point-slope: y − 3 = 2(x − 2) → y = 2x − 1.
