Answer:

y = 0.5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of a line given the coordinates of two points on the line.

The slope formula is:

m = \frac{y{2}-y{1}  }{x{2}- x{1} } = \frac{y}{x}

The coordinates of the first point represent x1 and y1. The coordinates of the second points are x2, y2.

Now let's fill in the formula with the points,

m = \frac{8-4}{9-7}

Solve,

⇒ Y = 9 – 7 = 2

⇒ X = 8 – 4 = 4

m = \frac{8-4}{9-7} = \frac{2}{4}

Simplify,

⇒ \frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5

Therefore, the Equation of the line is y = 0.5x + 5.

Is there any tricks to memorize the special right triangle's sides?
noname [10]
Sohcahtoa
My algebra teacher got us all to remember that word because...
Soh - Sin = Opposite / Hypotenus
Cah - Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenus
Toa - Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
Sin, Cos, and Tan are what you can use to find missing triangle sides if you know at least one other angle besides the 90 degree angle.
