To convert the given points into the equation in y=mx form, we first need to find the slope (m) using the two points (1,5) and (2,10).
The slope formula is:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substitute the given points into the formula:
m = (10 - 5) / (2 - 1)
m = 5 / 1
m = 5
Now, we have the slope (m = 5) and one of the points (1,5). We can plug the values into the y=mx+b formula to find the equation:
y = mx + b
5 = 5(1) + b
5 = 5 + b
b = 5 - 5
b = 0
Therefore, the equation in y=mx form is:
y = 5x + 0
y = 5x
(1,5),(2,10)
write the equation in y=mx form
