Answer:


y=3x-22

Explanation:

1. Start with the slope-intercept form: y=mx+b

2. Find the slope using the formula to find slope:
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) :

(5-2)/(9-8) = 3, slope is 3.

3. Plug in the slope into the slope-intercept formula, then solve for the y-intercept (b) using any point:


y=3x+b ->
2=8*3+b ->
2=24+b ->
-22=b

4. Final equation:
y=3x-22
