Two objects, A and B, are moving along two different straight lines at constant speeds. With reference to a particular coordinate system in which distance is measured in metres, the position of A at time t (in minutes) is (2t − 1, 3t + 3), and the position of B is (5t − 2, 2t + 5). Find the equation of the line that A moves along.
