Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points in the table.

y=?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Find slope first.

m = rise / run

From point 1 to point 2 this is:

m_1→2 = (6 - 1)/(16 - 8) = 5/8

Slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

Use point 1 to determine b:

1 = (5/8)(8) + b

1 = 5 + b

b = -4

Equation:

y = (5/8)x - 4
