Question

The points (10, 8) and (19, 17) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope-intercept
form?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using the two given points and the slope equation.

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{17-8}{19-10}=\frac{9}{9}=1$

We can enter $m$ into our slope-intercept form now.

$y=mx+b\\y=1x+b\\y=x+b$

Now, plug in one of the given points to solve for b.

$8=10+b\\b=-2$

So our final form is:

$y=x-2$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

the slope-intercept form is y=x-2
