how would you solve this?

Question

Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the given points (4, 1), (8, 2)

Answer 1

m = 1/4

y =mx +b

y = x/4 +b plug in either point to solve for b

1 =4/4 +b = 1+b, b= 0 = y intercept = the point (0,0) = the origin

y =x/4 is the equation or x=4y

or more explicitly

y = (1/4)x+ 0 in slope intercept form
