Answer:

y = 5x - 8

Explanation:

Here. we want to find the equation of the line

The general form is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y—intercept

To get the slope, we can pick any two points on the line

These are;

(2,2) and: (3,7)

we have the slope as follows;

m = (y2-y1)/)x2-x1) = (7-2)/3-2) = 5/1 =5

So we have;

y = 5x + b

To get b , use any point on the line and substitute its coordinates

using (3,7)

7 = 5(3) + b

7 = 15 + b

b = 7-15

b = -8

So the equation of the line is (

y = 5x - 8
