Answers
GPT 3.5
To write the two points (6,16) and (15,43) in the form y=mx+b, we first need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b):
Slope (m) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (43-16)/(15-6)
= 27/9
= 3
Now that we have the slope, we can choose one of the points to find the y-intercept (b). Let's choose the point (6,16):
y = mx + b
16 = 3(6) + b
16 = 18 + b
b = -2
Therefore, the expression in y=mx+b form is:
y = 3x - 2
Slope (m) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (43-16)/(15-6)
= 27/9
= 3
Now that we have the slope, we can choose one of the points to find the y-intercept (b). Let's choose the point (6,16):

Therefore, the expression in y=mx+b form is:
y = 3x - 2
