4/3 is slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
try to find the slope using the formula
\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8/3+b=1

b=?

Or you can just find the slope using
\[ m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
then use the point slope form, do some algebra and transform it into y=mx+b form
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]
Where \[(x_1,y_1)\] are your first coordinates, and slope is m.
