Write an equation from the following points (plug in the numbers you would use for "m" and "b"):

(3, 9) and (6, 13)

m=4/3 and b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the line passing through (3,9) and (6,13).

We determine the slope using:

Let:

We substitute the points to get:

We now use the formula:

We substitute to get:

Multiply through by 3 to get;

We expand further to get:

This implies that:

We solve for y to get:

Therefore m=4/3 and b=5

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
