Question

I need help what's the answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 2x - 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form is $y = mx + b$ with $m$ being the slope of the line and $b$ being the y-intercept (where the line touches the y-axis)

First we can find $m$ using the formula for slope, $\frac{rise}{run}$ (or $\frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}$), which is the change in y over the change in x.

We can use any points on the line, but I am going to use $(4, 3)$ and $(3, 1)$ for this example. We can now find the slope.

$\frac{3-1}{4-3} = \frac{2}{1}$

This means your slope is 2, which means $m$ is 2.

Finding the y-intercept is easy. This line crosses the y-axis at -5, and so $b$ is -5.

Now we can plug in the values into our original equation to get the equation of the line.

$y = 2x - 5$

That is the answer
