Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,10) and (4,14).

Answer 1

y=2x+6

Explanation:

to find the slop you divide the difference in y over difference in x, therefore its (14-10)/(4-2) which is 4/2 aka 2

then to find the y intercept, you can plug in a point, it doesn't matter which one.

so 10 = 2(2) + b --> 10 = 4+b, b is 6

so y = 2x+6
