Answer 1

Answer:

y=5x+7

or

f(x)=5x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = 5

Y-intercept (b) = 7

Using the equation y=mx+b, you can find m and b to make y=5x+7.

Steps:

(1, 12) (2, 17)                          formula: y2-y1 / x2-x1 = m

17-12= 5

 2-1 = 1

5/1=5

m=5

12=5(1)+b

12=5+b

7=b

17=5(2)+b

17=10+b

7=b

Answer: y=5x+7

or

f(x)=5x+7
