Question

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points 0,5 and 4,8 in slope intercept form

Answer 1

y = (3/4)x + 5

Using the two coordinates, you can find slope and y-intercept

y-intercept is 5, from the point (0,5)

slope is 3/4, from rise/run, and that 0 to 4 is 4, while 5 to 8 is 3.

Combine slope and y-intercept for slope intercept form

y = (3/4)x + 5

Answer 2

y = 3/4 + b

Explanation:

To get slope intercept form you need to have the y = then you need to find the slope which is y2 - y1 and x2 - x1, find the answer whether it be a fraction or a whole number. And since you don't know the y-intercept you mark the last integer as b, since you don't the answer. So it comes out to y = 3/4 + b
