It’s linear so you map out the first differences and then put it into y=Mx+b form. For the you gotta find the y intercept

Let's find the slope (m) :


  • (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)


  • (16 - 11)/(9 - 6)


  • (5)/(3)

slope of given line is 5/3

now, let's plug the value of coordinates of a point lying on the line ( for example : (6 , 11) and slope (m) to find the y - intercept (c) :


  • y = mx + c


  • 11 = \bigg((5)/( 3) * 6 \bigg) + c


  • 11 = (5 * 2) + c


  • 11 = 10 + c


  • c = 11 - 10


  • c = 1

value of y - intercept (c) = 1, so our equation will be :


  • y = mx + c


  • y = (5)/(3)x + 1
