Answer:

<h2>b = -9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{12-3}{7-4}=\dfrac{9}{3}=3

Therefore we have the equation:

y=3x+b

Put the coordinates of the point M to the equation:

3=3(4)+b

3=12+b            <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>

-9=b

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y= mx+b, where my is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the lone crosses the y axis.
