Question

what is the equation of a line that passes through points (0,7) and( 2,8)write your answer in slope intercept form

Answer 1

(0,7) and (2,8)

slope =8-7=1

2-0=2

m=1/2 meaning slope

equation=y-7/x-o=1/2

2(y-7)=1(x-0)

2y-14=x -o

2y=1x +14

y =1/2 x +7

Explanation:

to get the slope is y 2-y 1 divide by x 2-x 1 to get 1/2

you then take one point as (x,y) and one of the coordinates =the slope

then you divide by the 2 on both sides in order to get y=mx + c
