Question

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that goes through points (1,8) and (5,20)

Answer 1

Answer:

y=3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope equation:

y=mx+b

m-slope, b- is y-intercept

equation given 2 points

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

For point (1,8) and slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = 20-8/5-1=12/4=3

y-8 =3(x-1)

arange it in point slope format

y-8=3x-3

y=3x-3+8

y=3x+5
