Question 483385
I need help finding the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y=mx + b) using the given information. the answer is supposed to be y= 5 bu ti don't know how to get to the answer. The equation goes through (5,5) (10,12)
----
y = 5 is not the answer.
----------------------------
slope = (12-5)/(10-5) = 7/5
----
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
5 = (7/5)*5 + b
b = -2
----
Equation: 
y = (7/5)x - 2
