Answer: y=2x-1
We know that the equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the gradient and b is the y-intercept.
First to find the gradient, we use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1.
x1 and y1 being the first set of coordinates (2,3) and x2 and y2 being the second set (4,7)
Now we sub in:
m=7-3/4-2
m=4/2
m=2
This is our gradient and we can put it into the equation: y=2x+b
Now we find the y-intercept (b). Since the y-intercept isn’t shown, we can sub in the coordinates to find it.
y=2x+b
Sub (2,3)
3=2(2)+b
3=4+b
-1=b
Sub (4,7)
7=2(4)+b
7=8+b
-1=b
Subbing in both coordinates gives us -1 as the y-intercept, so the finished equation is: y=2x-1
The slope of BC is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise some notes about slopes of lines
- If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal
- If to lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1, that means if the slope of one is m, then the slope of the other is
∵ ABCD is a rectangle
∵ AB // CD
∴ The slope of AB = the slope of CD
∵ BC ⊥ AB
∴ The slope of BC × the slope of AB = -1
∵ The slope of AB = 
- To find the slope of BC reciprocal the slope of AB and reverse its sign
∴ The slope of BC =
The slope of BC is

<span>If M is the midpoint of CD, CM = 2x+3 and MD = 3x-6, then:
MD = CM
3x - 6 = </span>2x + 3
3x - 2x = 3 + 6
x = 9
CM = 2x+3 = 2*9+3 18+3 = 21
MD = CM = 21
CD = CM + MD = 21 + 21 = 42
The slope can sometimes be called the gradient, and the equation for the gradient is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). So therefore, you'd do: (-8 - 7)/(4 - -5) which is (-15)/9) which is -1 2/3 or -1.6 (recurring), which is your answer. I hope this helps! Let me know if I've confused you :)
