Question

find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points.
(4,2) (12,7)
y=

Answer 1

y = mx+b
Where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

You can obtain m by using this:\[m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\] from points \((x_2,y_2)\) and \((x_1,y_1)\)

Then for b, plug in any point then solve for b.

Answer 2

y-2=5/8(x-4)

Answer 3

how is this y=mx+b form?
