To find an equation of a line, you have to know the value of slope first. We can find the value of slope by using the formula below:

\large \boxed{m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }

m-term represents the slope from y = mx+b.

We are given two coordinate points. Substitute the points in the formula.

\large{m =  \frac{7 - 5}{3 - 0} } \\  \large{m =  \frac{2}{3} }

Therefore the slope is 2/3.

Next we find the y-intercept. In the form of y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept. We have got slope, except the y-intercept. We can find the y-intercept by substituting one of gjven points in the equation of y = mx+b.

Since we know the slope - we can rewrite the equation like below:

\large{y =  \frac{2}{3} x + b}

Then choose one of two points to substitute. I will choose (0,5). Therefore substitute x = 0 and y = 5.

\large{5 =  \frac{2}{3} (0) + b} \\  \large{5 = 0 + b} \\  \large{b = 5}

Thus the y-intercept is (0,5). Note that if the question gives you (0,a) point. That is the y-intercept of graph. So b = a if given (0,a).

Rewrite the equation by substituting the b-value.

\large{y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 5}

Hence, the equation of a line that contains those points is y = 2x/3 + 5

Answer

  • y = 2x/3 + 5

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any doubts.

Answer:

1 mi/1.61 km

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1 mile= 1.61  kilometers

To convert 1 kilometer to miles

use proportion

so

1/1.61 mi/km=x/1 mi/km

x=1 mi/1.61 km

Answer:

One: Median = 2

Two: Mean = 3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

One

Put the dots in order

1 1 1 2 2 3 3

There are seven groups altogether.

The middle one is a 2.

The median is 2.

Two

The mean is the average.

The average of the 4 groups is

1 3 6 3 = 13

The average is the sum of the dots.

13/4 = 3.25
