Question

Find the equation of a line that contains the points (2, 1) and (8,7). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer: y - 1 = 1 (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation: Find the slope of the given points. Then insert one of the pairs into the slope-intercept equation.

Answer 2

y=x-1

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(7-1)/(8-2)

m=6/6

m=1

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=1(x-2)

y=x-2+1

y=x-1
