For the straight line defined by the points (1, 53) and (3, 91), determine the slope and y-intercept. Do not round the answers.

Solution

slope of line joining (a,b),(c,d) is m =(d -b)/(c-a)

slope of line joining (1,53),(3,91) is m =(91 -53)/(3-1)=38/2 =19

general equation of line in slope intercept form is y =mx+b, where b is y intercept

here our equation is y =19x +b

y =19x +b passes through (1,53)

53 =19(1) +b

b=53-19

b=34

slope m =19, y intercept =34
