Question

Find the equation of a line passing through (0,4) and (5,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = (2/5)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y2 = 6, y1 = 4, x2 = 5, x1 = 0 Remember that points will always be given in the format (x, y)

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Slope (m) = (6 - 4) / (5 - 0)

Slope (m) = 2 / 5

y = mx + b

I will be using the point (5, 6) to find the value of b.

6 = (2/5) 5 + b

6 = 2 + b

4 = b

Hence,

y = (2/5)x + 4
