To find m, we can use the formula y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
x1 = 2
y1 = 50
x2 = 4
y2 = 90
Let's plug these numbers into our formula.
m = 90 - 50 / 4 - 2 = 40/2 = 20
So far our equation looks like: y = 20x + b
Now, let's plug one of the points into our equation.
50 = 20(2) + b
Simplify
50 = 40 + b
Subtract 40 from both sides.
10 = b
The final equation is: y = 20x + 10
