Answer:
Explanation:
Givens
Take any two points (9,33) and (5,17)
Use the slope formula to determine what the slope might be
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
y2 = 33
y1 = 17
x2 = 9
x1 = 5
Solution
m = (33 -17) / (9 - 5)
m = 16/4
m = 4
Extra
Use 5,17 to get the y intercept
x = 5
y = 17
y = 4x + b
x = 5
y = 17
Use the general equation for a line: y = 4x + b and solve for b
17 = 4*5 + b
17 = 20 + b
b = - 3
So the line equation is y = 4x - 3
I did this extra work because I did not believe that 1,1 could be a solution for this equation given the other numbers. Turns out I was wrong. y = 4x - 3 has all 4 points on the line.
