The slope is 7/5 and the equation of the line is 5y - 7x = 0 if the points (10,14) and (35,49) form a proportional relationship.
<h3>What is the slope?</h3>The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).
From the above formula, we can find the slope of the line:
m = (49-14)/(35-10)
m = 35/25
m = 7/5
The equation will be:
y = 7x/5 + c
here c is the y-intercept
Plug (10, 14) in the equation to find the value of c
14 = 7(10)/5 + c
c = 0
y = 7x/5 or
5y - 7x = 0
Thus, the slope is 7/5 and the equation of the line is 5y - 7x = 0 if the points (10,14) and (35,49) form a proportional relationship.
