Answer:
B. [tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the slope equation first. The slope equation is as follows:
[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} = slope[/tex]
This is what is given in the equation:
Let's label each component of the equation using these points:
y2 = 9
y1 = 7
x2 = 6
x1 = 3
Now, plug these into the equation
[tex]\frac{9-7}{6-3} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
We can now eliminate A and C of the answer choices.
Now let's find the y intercept
Right now we have the following equation
[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x+ (y intercept)[/tex]
In order to find the y intercept we need to plug in one of the given points into the equation. Let's use point (3,7).
The equation should look like this now:
[tex]7 = \frac{2}{3}(3) + (yintercept)[/tex]
Now lets solve for the y-intercept
[tex]7 = \frac{2}{3}(3) + (yintercept)\\7 = \frac{6}{3} + (yintercept)\\7 = 2 + (yintercept) \\5 = yintercept[/tex]
Now that we found the y-intercept is 5 we have our full equation!
[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + 5[/tex]
Hope this helps!!
