Hi

find the linear equation passing through the given point: (0,3) (4,7)

Using the point-slope formula, m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29

(0,3) 

(4,7) m = -4/-4 = 1

 



 y = x + b   |using ordered pair Pt(0,3) to solve for b

 3 = 0 + b

 3 = b 

 y = x + 3 |written in slope-intercept form
