Answer:
y = 3x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 - x1)
y2 = 19
y1 = 7
x2 = 5
x1 = 1
Slope = (19 - 7)/(5 - 1)
slope = 12 / 4
slope = 3
So far what you have is
y = 3x + b To solve for b, use either of the two points.
x = 1
y = 7
7 = 3(1) + b
7 = 3 + b
b = 4
The final equation is
y = 3x + 4
We should check that with the other point
x = 5 Find y
y = 3(5) + 4
y = 15 + 4
y = 19 Ans it checks.
