Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (-3, 5) and (2, 10) in slope intercept form

Answer 1

y = x + 8

Explanation:

Find the Slope (m) using y₂ - y₁ /x₂ - x₁

10-5/2 + 3 = m

5/5 = m

1 = m

Find b by plugging in one of the points given and the slope just found into y = mx + b

10 = 2 (1) + b

10 = 2 + b

8 = b

Write the equation with the m and b you just found

y = x + 8
