Answer:
y=1/4x+2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
two coordinates are: (5,4) and (-3,2)
the linear function is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
first, find the slope
the formula to find the slope is y2-y1/x2-x1
2-4/-3-5=
-2/-8=
1/4
Now you know 1/4 is the slope. Plug that into the function
y=1/4x+b
Now find the y-intercept
to do that, take one of your coordinates and plug the x and y values into the function.
I will use (-3,2)
2=1/4(-3)+b
2=-3/4+b
11/4=b
(or 2.75 decimal form)
Plug the y-intercept into the function and you're done
y=1/4x+2.75
