Question

Given the points (5,7)and(2,4)
find the equation passing through
these points​

Answer 1

y=x+2

Explanation:

Im going to start by presuming its a linear equation so the formula is:

y=mx+n so now we just make a simulanious equation:

7=5m+n

4=2m+n

which we subtract to get

3=3m

m=1

then we plug it into the first equation

7=5+n

n=2

so the equation is:

y=x+2
