Answer:
y = 3x - 2
Explanation:
Find the slope using rise over run (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1 ) and (x2, y2) are points on the line.
Plug in the 2 points:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(25 - 16) / (9 - 6)
9 / 3
= 3
So, the slope is 3. Plug this and a point into y = mx + b to find b:
y = mx + b
16 = 3(6) + b
16 = 18 + b
-2 = b
Then, plug in b and the slope into the equation:
y = mx + b
y = 3x - 2 is the equation of the line
