Question

What equation would have the points containing (8,3) and (13,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = (2/5)x -1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope between the two points using the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

$m = \frac{5 - 3}{13 - 8}$

$m = \frac{2}{5}$

Insert the slope and a random point, (8,3) into the equation for a line:

y = mx + b

3 = (2/5)8 + b

3 = 16/5 + b

b = -1/5

Insert m=2/5 and b = -1/5 into the equation of a line:

y = (2/5)x -1/5

Answer 2

The answer would be y= 2/5x because 5-3 =2 so you put that on top and 13-8 =5 and you put that on bottom
