Answer:

f(x)=2x-1; y=2x-1

Explanation:

First we need to find the slope and to do so you use the equation
(y_(1) -y_(2))/(x_(1)-x_(2)) .

Plugging in for the values we get (9-5)/(5-3)=4/2=2, which means we have a slope of 2.

Now we just have to find the y-intercept, and to do this we multiply the x-value by the slope (2) and see what we have to add to that to get the y-value.

For example, 5*2=10, 10-1=9, so -1 is our y-intercept.

This means our equation in slope-intercept form is y=2x-1 and in function form is f(x)=2x-1

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Explanation:

(3, 5) (5, 9)

slope = (9-5)/(5-3) = 4/2 = 2

y = mx + b

5 = 2(3) + b

-1 = b

y = 2x -1
