Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b, where m is the slope and y the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).
(0, y) , (2, 7); m = 1/2
We can start with y = (1/2)x + b
To find b, use one of the two given points. I'll use (2,7), since (0,y) isn't helpful.
y = (1/2)x + b
7 = (1/2)*2 + b
7 = 1 + b
b = 6
The equation is y = (1/2)x + 6.
Now find (0,y) by using x = 0:
y = 6
The second point is (0,6)
============
2. (4, 2) , (5, y) m = 4
y = mx + b
y = 4x + b
Use (4,2) and solve for b:
2 = 4*4 + b
b = -14
The equation is y = 4x - 14
Now find (5,y):
y = 4x - 14
y = 4*5 - 14
y = 20 - 14
y = 6
The second point is (5,6)
