The formula is y=mx+b
To get the slope or m, use this formula
(the second y minus the first y)/(the second x minus the first x)
Now set it up.
(10-7)/(2--1)
3/3=slope is 1.
y=1x+b
Insert one of the points for x and y.
i will do (-1,7)
7=1(-1)+b
7=-1+b
8=b
Insert this into the final equation:
y=1x+8
Try it out. If you're not sure, try both points. If it works, then you set it up correctly.
Answer:
6, 0
Step-by-step explanation:
For finding the value of b, we must consider that Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). With this condition y = mx + b, can be written 3=4m+ b (because line passes through M(4,3) ) and 12=7m+b, b ( because line passes through M(7,12)).
We have a system of equation
4m+ b=3
7m+b=12
For solving this, 4m+b- (7m+b)= 3-12, it is equivalent to -3m= -9 and then m=3, if m=3 so
4x3 +b =3 implies b= 3 -12= -9, so the value of b= -9

Is there more to the question?
Step-by-step explanation:
"Is" means equals. "Less than" means subtracted from.
28 = k - 12
Add 12 to both sides to solve for k:
k = 40
