5. The graph of a function is a line that passes through the coordinates (2, 11)
and (8, 14).
Write an equation in the form
y = mx + b for this function.

y = 1/2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(y-11)/(14-11) = (x-2)/(8-2)

(y-11)/3 = (x-2)/6

2y-22 = x-2

2y = x + 20

y = 1/2x + 10

Let m = slope of the line.

m = (14 - 11)/(8 - 2)

m = 3/6

m = 1/2

We now have the slope and the slope is 1/2.

We plug the slope and one of the point into the point-slope formula.

Here is the point-slope formula:

y - y_1 = m(x - x/_1)

I will use the point (2, 11).

y - 11 = (1/2)(x - 2)

y - 11 = (1/2)x - 1

Now we solve for y by adding 11 to both sides of the equation.

y = (1/2)x - 1 + 11

y = (1/2)x + 10

there are no choices to this, can you give us some choices so that i can answer it

step-by-step explanation:

the speed is   miles per hour > is false

step-by-step explanation:

we know that  

a relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or

in a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

the graph shown in the figure represent a direct variation

the slope of the line represent the speed

for the point

substitute the values of x and y

the linear equation is equal to

statements

case a) it takes hours to go miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for

find the value of y in the linear equation

> is correct

case b) the speed is   miles per hour

the statement is false

because the speed is

case c) the unit rate for the trip is

the statement is true

because the speed is equal to the slope of the linear equation

case d) it took minutes to go the first miles

the statement is true

because

substitute

for

find the value of y in the linear equation

> is correct
