Question

Find the equation of the line that contains the points (3,5) and (7, 7). Write the equation in the form y = mx + b and identify m and b.

m=
b=

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using Point - Slope formula :

`(y - y_1) = ((y_2 - y_1))/((x_2 - x_1)) (x - x_1)`

`(y - 5) = (2)/(4) (x - 3)`

2y - 10 = x - 3

`y = (1)/(2) x + (7)/(2)`

m = 1 / 2

b = 7 / 2
