Answer:

y=2x-1

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(4, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(2, 3)

m = = = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation.

Using B(2, 3), then

3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 4 = - 1

y = 2x - 1 ← equation of line
