Answer:
y=1x+5y
The yyy-intercept of the line is (0,\greenE{3})(0,3)left parenthesis, 0, comma, start color #0d923f, 3, end color #0d923f, right parenthesis, so we know that \greenE{b}=\greenE{3}b=3start color #0d923f, b, end color #0d923f, equals, start color #0d923f, 3, end color #0d923f.
Finding \maroonC mmstart color #ed5fa6, m, end color #ed5fa6
Recall that the slope of a line is the ratio of the change in yyy over the change in xxx between any two points on the line:
\text{Slope}=\dfrac{\text{Change in }y}{\text{Change in }x}Slope=
Change in x
Change in y
start text, S, l, o, p, e, end text, equals, start fraction, start text, C, h, a, n, g, e, space, i, n, space, end text, y, divided by, start text, C, h, a, n, g, e, space, i, n, space, end text, x, end fraction
Therefore, this is the slope between the points (0,3)(0,3)left parenthesis, 0, comma, 3, right parenthesis and (2,7)(2,7)left parenthesis, 2, comma, 7, right parenthesis:
\begin{aligned}\maroonC{m}&=\dfrac{\text{Change in }y}{\text{Change in }x} \\\\ &=\dfrac{7-3}{2-0} \\\\ &=\dfrac{4}{2} \\\\ &=\maroonC{2}\end{aligned}
m

In conclusion, the equation of the line is y=\maroonC{2}x\greenE{+3}y=2x+3y, equals, start color #ed5fa6, 2, end color #ed5fa6, x, start color #0d923f, plus, 3, end color #0d923f.
Step-by-step explanation:(0,5)left parenthesis, 0, comma, start color #0d923f, 5, end color #0d923f, right parenthesis is the yyy-intercept of the line, so \greenE{b}=\greenE{5}b=5start color #0d923f, b, end color #0d923f, equals, start color #0d923f, 5, end color #0d923f.
Now we find the slope by using the two points:
\begin{aligned} \maroonC{m}&=\dfrac{(9)-(5)}{(4)-(0)} \\\\ &=\dfrac{4}{4} \\\\ &=\maroonC{1} \end{aligned}
m
=
(4)−(0)
(9)−(5)
=

=1
Therefore, the equation of the line is y=\maroonC{1}x\greenE{+5}y=1x+5y, equals, start color #ed5fa6, 1, end color #ed5fa6, x, start color #0d923f, plus, 5, end color #0d923f.
