Answer:
equation y =7/4x+1
slope = 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two points so we can find the slope
m =(y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (4--3)/(2--2)
= (4+3) / (2+2)
= 7/4
We know the slope and the y intercept
We can write the equation using y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y= 7/4x +1
We put at dot at (0,1) and then go up 7 and to the right 4 . We put another dot
Connect the dots and we have our line.
We could also put dots at (-2,-3) and (2,4) and connect the dots.
