Y = mx + b

First equation 1 = m(4) + b, bring everything to one side m(4) + b - 1 = 0
Second equation 7 = m(5) + b, bring everything to one side m(5) + b - 7 = 0

Set them equal to each other, 

m(4) + b - 1 = m(5) + b - 7

If you bring the b over to the left hand side it becomes

m(4) + b - b - 1 = m(5) - 7

m(4) - 1 = m(5) - 7

Solve for m

6 = m

Plug m = 6 into either equation from the beginning,

m(4) + b - 1 = 0

6(4) + b - 1 = 0

24 + b - 1 = 0

b = -23

Knowing m and b we can now make an equation

y = mx + b

y = 6x -23 Final answer

(TIMED),<br> Which equation is represented in the graph?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

y = e^x

Step-by-step explanation:

That curve represents a typical function of y = e^x, and to decide if it is y = e^x or y = e^x + 1 you need to replace x = 0

y = e^(0) = 1

y = e^(0) + 1 = 2

If you see the graph when x = 0, y = 1

So it is y = e^x
