Answer:

Given that,

To find an equation of the line that passes through the points (6, 5) and (7,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that,

The equation of the line that passes through the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is of the form,


(y-y1)/(y2-y1)=(x-x1)/(x2-x1)

x1=6 , y1=5

x2=7, y2=7

Substitute the values we get,


(y-5)/(7-5)=(x-6)/(7-6)
(y-5)/(2)=(x-6)/(1)

Solving this we get,


y-5=2x-12
y=2x-12+5
y=2x-7

The required equation of the line is,


y=2x-7
