Which is the equation of the line that passes through points(-3,4) and (6,7)?
-------
Step 1, find the slope, m
Step 2, use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is either point.

Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points
hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (-3, 4) and (x2, y2) = (0, 7).
Slope a is a+=+%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29+=+%287-4%29%2F%280--3%29+=+1.
Intercept is found from equation a%2Ax%5B1%5D%2Bb+=+y%5B1%5D, or 1%2A-3+%2Bb+=+7. From that,
intercept b is b=y%5B1%5D-a%2Ax%5B1%5D, or b=4-1%2A-3+=+7.

y=(1)x + (7)

Your graph:




=>y=x%2B7
