Question

(1,5) (2,7) How to find the equation of the line passing through the given points

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to do this problem, we will use the following formula to find the slope of the line

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(1,5) (2,7)

(7 - 5) / (2 - 1)

2 / 1

2 = m

next, we will substitute the slope and one of the points into the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and solve for b to find the y-intercept

y = mx + b

7 = (5)(2) + b

7 = 10 + b

-3 = b

finally, we put it all together into one equation

y = 2x - 3
