hint: we can find the slope \(m\) of the line, using this formula: \[m = \frac{{{y_2} - {y_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}} = \frac{{47 - 15}}{{7 - 1}}=...?\] after that, we can apply this formula, in order to write the complete equation of the line: \[y - 47 = m\left( {x - 7} \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=7+y/m−47/m

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, you have to compute the value of \(m\) first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that its solve already in the picture 16/3

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! I know. Please now replace \(m=16/3\) into the second formula:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: \[y - 47 = m\left( {x - 7} \right) = \frac{{16}}{3} \cdot \left( {x - 7} \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

112/3

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! If we apply the distributive property at the right side, we get: \[\begin{gathered} y - 47 = m\left( {x - 7} \right) = \frac{{16}}{3} \cdot \left( {x - 7} \right) = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{16}}{3}x - \frac{{112}}{3} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \] then we can write: \[y - 47 = \frac{{16}}{3}x - \frac{{112}}{3}\] now I add 47 to both sides, so I get: \[y - 47 + 47 = \frac{{16}}{3}x - \frac{{112}}{3} + 47\] please simplify

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what is \(-47+47=...?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=16/3x+29/3

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!
