Hi, I am very happy to help you! I know how to do this! Super Easy!!!!

You will have 2 different x's and they are 3 and 6.

You will have 2 different y's and they are 16 and 19.

In order to get m, you have to subtract y2-y1/x2-x1=m

So the answer would be 1.

In order to solve b, you have to choose one of your given coordinate points and plug them in for x and y and plug in your m, which is 1.

I will be choosing the coordinate points (3,16)

So our b is 13.

So our answer using the form is y=1x+13
