Answer:
y = 5x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by the slope formula:
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (8 -3)/(2 -1) = 5
The y-intercept is given by the formula:
b = y -mx
b = 3 -5(1) = -2
Then the slope-intercept form equation is ...
y = mx +b
y = 5x -2 . . . . . . . . using the m and b we found above
