Answer:

Your equation is: y = 4x -1

Explanation:

We have 2 points, (2, 4), (2,7)

The first thing we need to do is find the slope:

m = (difference in y)/(difference in x) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-4)/(2-7) = 0.4

Your slope intercept form of y = mx + b will be

y = 0.4x + b

We can use either given point to substitute in for (x, y)

and find b. Let's use (2, 7):

7 = 4(2) + b

7 = 8 + b

7-8 = b

-1 = b
