Somebody explain this i have a major exam soon and i really need to know how to solve problems like this

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope. You find the slope by using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. (2, 1) and (4, 5) are our points. Let's find our values.

y2= 5

y1= 1

x2 = 4

x1 = 2

Plug in the numbers into the equation. 5 - 1 is 4. 4 - 2 is 2. 4/2 is 2. There. Our slope is 2.

Step 2: Find the b value. Keep in mind that an equation in point-slope form is y = mx + b, where m = the slope, and b = the y-intercept. For this part, you will plug in one of the points as x and y to find the b value. let's use point (4, 5)

The equation then becomes 5 = 2(4) + b. As we know, 2 * 4 is 8. Subtract 8 on both sides of the equation to cancel out the right side and isolate the b variable. 5 - 8 is -3. Even if you use the other point for the equation (1 = 2(2) +b), you should get the same answer of -3.

We need choices if you want to get things done
