Question

A line includes the points (7,4) and (8,6). What is it’s equation in slope- intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the slope

M= y2-y1/ x2-x1.

6-4 / 8-7 = 2/1 or 2

Then you pick one set of coordinates and plug the information into the formula. It doesn't matter which set you use as long as you plug the information in correctly.

I will choose (6,4)

Slope intercept formula is y-y1 =m(x-x1)

Y-4=2(x-6)

Then you simplify.

Y-4=2x-12

+4. +4

Y=2x-8 is your solution.
