Given the two points (3, -1) and (5,3), explain how to write the equation of the line in slope intercept form.

*Calculate Slope first

*Calculate y-intercept second

*Write your answer in the form y=mx+b (HINT: you will need to find m and b)


Help quickly!!! I will give brainylist or whatever

To write the equation of the line in slope intercept form, you would need to solve to find the slope. The slope in this case is 2. We know that because 3-(-1)/5-3= 4/2.

And then to find the y-int we would need to substitute the known values on the equation y=mx+b . Using the point (5,3) we can calculate the intercept. We do 3=2(5)+b. We get that b=-7.

Now in the end the equation in slope intercept form will be
y=2x-7
