What is an equation for the line that passes through the coordinates (2,7) and (0,1)

(x1,y1)   is  (2,7)

    (x2,y2)   is  (0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Points:

    (x1,y1)   is  (2,7)

    (x2,y2)   is  (0,1)

Point-slope form is:

  (y-y1) = ( (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) )(x - x1)

   y - 7 =( (-6)/(0-2) )(x-2)

   y - 7 = 3x - 6

    y = 3x + 1    [slope-intercept form]

Check:

  Is  (2,7) on the line:

       7 = 3(2) + 1   ?

       y = 7   ?yes

  Is (0,1) on the line:

       1 = 3(0) + 1   ?

       1 = 1   ?yes

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

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

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

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

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
