Answer: The equation is y = 4x+3
Slope = 4
y intercept = 3
========================================================
Explanation:
Let's start off by finding the slope.
[tex]A = (x_1,y_1) = (0,3) \text{ and } B = (x_2,y_2) = (4,19)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{19 - 3}{4 - 0}\\\\m = \frac{16}{4}\\\\m = 4\\\\[/tex]
The slope is 4.
The y intercept is 3 because of the point (0,3)
We go from y = mx+b to y = 4x+3
m = slope
b = y intercept
---------------
Check:
Plug in x = 0 and we should get to y = 3
y = 4x+3
y = 4(0)+3
y = 0+3
y = 3
That works out. Now try x = 4. It should lead to y = 19
y = 4x+3
y = 4(4)+3
y = 16+3
y = 19
The answer is confirmed.
