Write the equation of the line that passes through (2, 4) and (1, �3) in slope-intercept form.
**
Standard form of an equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
..
Slope of given line=∆y/∆x=(4-(-3)/(2-1)=7/1=7
Equation:
y=7x+b
find b using one of given points (2,4)
4=7*2+b
b=4-14=-10
Equation:
y=7x-10
