Question

a line passes through the points (9, 16) and (0, 5). what is it’s equation in slope intercept form

Answer 1

Answer:

y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (16 - 5)/(9 - 0) = 9/9 = 1

Using m = 1, y = 5, x = 0

then y = mx + b

5 = 1(0) + b

b = 5

so y = x + 5
