y= mx + b
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Substitute a set of coordinates for x and y.
Solve for b (which is the y-intercept).

Reorder into the standard form:
y=mx+b

Hello,

The formula for the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) the change in y values between two points divided by the change in x values between the same two points.

So putting in the values from the first one we have:

(7-2)/(6-1) = 5/5 = 1.

Now it's your turn.

Hope This Helps!!

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=slope
(7-2)/(6-1)
5/5=1
you can do the other one
