Answer:

Point slope: y - 115 = 2(x -30)

Slope intercept: y = 2x + 55

Explanation:

I choice the first point to write the equation in the point slope form of a line.

(30,115)

Slope is the change in y over the change in x. I see that the y's are increasing by 10, while the x's are increasing by 5

10/5 = 2

The slope is 2

y = y = m( x + x)

y - 115 = 2(x - 30)

Slope intercept form of a line

We already found the slope to be 2. Use the slope and the point (30,115) to find x

y = mx + b

115 = 2(30) + b

115 = 30 + b Subtract 30 from both sides

55 = b

y = 2x + 55
