Question

Write the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form.​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form: y=mx+b

point a: (1, 1)

point b: (2, 3)

1. Find the slope of the equation

Equation for slope(mx): (y2- y1)/ (x2-x1)

(3-1)/(2-1)= 2

slope: 2

2. Pick any of the two point to find the "b" and plug in the coordinates of the point to find the y-intercept of the equation.

point a: y=1, x=1

y=mx+b

1=2(1) + b

b= -1

3. Plug the answers you found above into the slope-intercept form

Overall equation:

y=2x - 1
