Question

Can someone help me with this Im not sure if My answer is correct

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Yes, your answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the two points by using the slope formula:

        y2 - y1

m = -------------

        x2 - x1

         13 - 5

m = -------------

          8 - 4

         8

m = ------- = 2

         4

To find the y-intercept, plug in values into the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b

Where m = slope and b= y-intercept. Use any one of the points. I'll be using (4,5):

5 = (2) (4) + b

5 = 8 + b

-3 = b

b = -3

So, putting everything into the slope intercept formula:

y = 2x - 3
