anonymous · Answer

ineed to know how to doo it step by step idnt knw hw

anonymous · Answer

ok use your points... and plug them in...$$4--5 \over 1- -6$$

anonymous · Answer

solve that... and tell me what you got.

anonymous · Answer

o sorry i did it wrong u right ok what next?

anonymous · Answer

so that is M in your equation...

anonymous · Answer

so we are going to use the points  (1,4)
 4= 9/7(1) + B

now solve for b.

anonymous · Answer

b=0?

anonymous · Answer

is b=0 right man

anonymous · Answer

ok you do (9/7) x 1  and then you bring that to the side where 4 is... by subtracting  and that gives you b.
