What is an equation for the line that passes through the coordinates (2,7) and (0,1)

Question

Show work I need to know how to get the equation

Answer 1

the line through those points has slope = m = 6/2 = 3 (change in y values over change in x values, "rise over run")

y-h= m(x-k) where m= slope and (k,h) is a point on the line

y-1 = 3x

3x-y = -1 is the equation of the line through the two given points
