You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find an equatin of the line that contains the given pair of points.
(22, 25), (5,8)
**
Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given equation:
slope,m=∆y/∆x=rise/run=(25-8)/(22-5)=17/17=1
y=(1)x+b
solve for b using any one of the points (5,8)
8=5+b
b=3
equation:
y=x+3
