Answer:
y=5x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the slope. Remember that the slope equation is [tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex].
If we plug in the given points we get m=5. (let me know if you need further elaboration on this step)
So now that we have a slope, we can plug it into the slope-intercept equation.
y=mx+b
y=5x+b
We still need to find b (y-intercept), but luckily, we were given two points that we could plug in. I'm going to use (1,8) here.
8=5(1)+b
8=5+b
b=3
Now we have all of our parts and can put them into the equation.
y=5x+3
Hope this helped!
