Question

Please help this question is making me angry it keeps saying it's wrong please I'm begging you ​

Answer 1

y = 1/7x + 23/7 or y = 1/7x + 3 and 2/7

Explanation:

If you are learning about this, I suppose you know the formula or how to get the slope. You want to divide the rise over run or take the two y values divided the two x values:

`m = (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))`

The two points we have are (-2, 3) and (5, 4)

So:

4 - 3 / 5 - (-2)

1 / 5 + 2

Slope: 1 / 7

Now we want to find b in y = mx + b,

We can write it as y = 1/6x + b, then plug in a y and x value:

3 = 1/7(-2) + b

3 + 2/7 = b

b = 23/7

We can check by using the other point we have:

4 = 1/7(5) + b

4 - 5/7 = b

b = 23/7 or 3 and 2/7

Then the equation is: y = 1/7x + 23/7
