Question 394813
Find the x-and y-intercepts of the line that passes through the given points. 
(7,5),(4,1)
----------------------
slope: (5-1)/(7-4) = 4/3
-------------------------------
Form: y = mx + b
You know y = 1 when x = 4 and m = 4/3
-----------------------
1 = (4/3)4+b
b = 1-(16/3)
---
b = -13/3
-----------------
Equation:
y = (4/3)x-(13/3)
