Find a formula for the linear function with slope (0.7) that passes through (0.1, 0.9)
**
Problem is asking to find the equation for a straight line.
Its standard form: y=mx+b. m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given line:
equation: y=.7x+b
solve for b, using (x,y) coordinates of given point (0.1,0.9)
.9=.7*.1+b
b=.83
equation: y=.7x+.83
