The slope, m, can be found using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) = (-3,-1) and (x2, y2) = (2,4)
m = (4 - (-1)) / (2 - (-3)) = 5/5 = 1
To find the y-intercept, b, we can use one of the given points. Let's use (2,4):
y = mx + b
4 = 1(2) + b
b = 2
Therefore, the equation of the linear function is:
y = x + 2
Write the equation of the linear function. Enter your answer in y=mx+b form?
