Answer: The steps and answers to the first two are below but you need to understand slope = change in y / change in x = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

And you need to understand y = mx + c

m= slope c is y intercept

Substitute either point given - only use one as the x and y and find c

Explanation:

1. You need to follow the steps -

the point is given as (2,5) = (x,y)

So what this means is x =2 and y =5

Simple substitutions is the step 5 = 3 x 2 + c

5 = 6 + c or easier to see is c + 6 =5

subtract 6 from both sides c + 6 = 5

-6 -6

c = -1

2.

x1,y1 x2,y2

( 3,2) and (5,6) are two points on the line

you already calculate the slope which is m = noy2-y1/x2-x1 = 6-2/5-3 = 4/2 = 2

Remember y= mx + c

y = 2 x + c

now substitute in (3,2) which is (x1, y1) into the x and y in your equation

2 = 2 (3) + c

2 = 6 + c

subtract 6 from both sides

-4 = c

Now you should use this and do your last question yourself
