Question

What is the equation ( y = mx + b) of the line that passes through (2,5) and (6, 13)

Answer 1

y=2x+1

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(13-5)/(6-2)

m=8/4

m=2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-5=2(x-2)

y-5=2x-4

y=2x-4+5

y=2x+1

Answer 2

y=2x+1

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m=(13-5)/(6-2)

m=8/4

m=2

b=y-mx

b=5-2*2

b=5-4

b=1

y=2x+1
