How do you write an equation of a line with the two points x=2, and y=80

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Those are NOT points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They could be. Loosen up a little bit. (x,y) (2,80)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this answer is useless... imma shutdown now {} server.windows[shutdown]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or they could be the points 2,0 or 0,80. No need to caps lock the "not."

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

my book just says pick to coordinates from the table and use that to find an equation of the line.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I see, so you can pick two sets of numbers (x, y) from the table.

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

i have to pick two sets of x and y?

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

So x=1, and y= 75 and x= 2 and y=80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now look at how much y changes as x increases by one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the slope, m in y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then look at what y is when x is 0, that's the y-intercept, or b in y=mx+b

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

would it be y=5x+70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, good job. you can close the question now
