Question

Write an equation for the line that passes through (4, 5) and (6, 7).

Answer 1

The equation in slope-intercept form would be y=1x+1

Explanation:

We can use the slope formula,

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=7-5/6-4

m=1

plug in m for y intercept or "b" and choose either points to sub. for the x & y

I am going to choose the (6,7)

7=6(1)+b

7-6=6-6+b

b=1

Our "b" is equal to 1 and just add in the points to the slope formula y=mx+b
