Answer:
y=2x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(4, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(2, 3)
m = = = 2, thus
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation.
Using B(2, 3), then
3 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 4 = - 1
y = 2x - 1 ← equation of line
