Answer

y = $\frac{11}{2}$x + $\frac{3}{4}$

Work Step by Step

First find the slope using the two given points. To find the slope use the slope definition. m = $\frac{\frac{7}{2}-\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}-0}$ = $\frac{11}{2}$ Use the point slope form equation of the line to find the equation of the line. Note that you can plug in either point on the point-slope-form equation. y - $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{11}{2}$(x- 0) Simplify: y = $\frac{11}{2}$x + $\frac{3}{4}$
