You can put this solution on YOUR website!
take the slope of them then use the point slope formula to get the slope-intercept form of the line
points (2,3) and (7,13)
slope is (13-3)/(7-2)=2
use either point
y-y1-m(x-x1) m is slope, (x1,y1) coordinates of point
y-3=2(x-2)
y-3=2x-4
y=2x-1
The -1 is the y-intercept.
