Question

Write an equation for the line that passes through the given points (2,3), (3,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

first use the slope equation (y2-y1/x2-x1)

so 7 - 3 = 4 and 3 - 2 = 1 so the slope is 4

so we know the m is 4 so we can just plug one of the points into the slope intercept form (y = mx+b) so let's use the point (2,3). just plug in the values

3 = 4(2)+ b. 4 * 2 = 8 subtract 8 to the other side b = -5

so the answer is y = 4x - 5

hope this helps!
