What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the points (5, 6) and (9, 14)?
y =
x +

ok so first, find the slope, do you know how to do that?
OpenStudy (rawfeeds-):
um yes one sec
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, so when you find the slope that will be your "m" in y=mx + b
The y intercept (b) you will find with the slope
OpenStudy (rawfeeds-):
@DamienGannon slope=2

you should get y=2x+b if you plug that in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so now take 1 point (doesnt matter which) and plug the coordinates for x and y
OpenStudy (rawfeeds-):
ok can you do it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so basically what you should get is 6=2(5) + b
now what you have to do is multiple 2 by 5 and you should get 6=10 + b
now you have to seperate b alone and you will get your answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in case you dont know how, it's decently simple, subtract 10 from both sides

you should get -4 = b which is your y-intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so plugging all the things you know in you get y=2x-4
