Question

Find the equation of the line that contains the points (3,5) and (7, 7). Write the equation in the form y = mx + b and identify m and b.
m=
b=

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Point - Slope formula :

$(y - y_1) = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)}{(x_2 - x_1)} (x - x_1)$

$(y - 5) = \frac{2}{4} (x - 3)$

2y - 10 = x - 3

$y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{7}{2}$

m = 1 / 2

b = 7 / 2
