What is the linear equation of the line that passes through (- 3, 1) and (4, 8)?

[@Kleermaker1000]

Here is a more simple way. Two linear equations: 1) - 3m + b = 1 and 2) 4m + b = 8. Subtract the second equation from the first and you get: - 7m = - 7 => m = 1. Then b = 4 (you can check it yourself). So the linear equation is: 1x + 4 = y or y = x + 4. :)

I,m 79 and doing this to refresh my memory from my school days. A little mental exercise.

are you still alive

87 and doing the same thing

[@danieldennis9831]

m=(8-1)/(4-(-3)) and y=x+b 1=-3+b b=4 m=1 so y=x+4 (or y=1x+4 depending on teacher's instruction)

thisss is sooooo crazy i’m literally doing this topic right now

Was able to solve by visual inspection, because of the 45-degree slope

Doing it graphically would be better also solving on standard form.

what is M , y = mx + b -3, 1 y= mx+ b = 1, or say -1 , if -1 then as follows X= -3 given mx = m = 0.6667 x -3 = 2 , ard b = -1 = So y= 1 or MX + b = 1 M = 0 , x = -3 ie Mx = 0 + 1 = y = 1 what is M

Okay 👍👍
