y=mx+b
1750=5m+b
2900=10m+b
solve for m and b. To get m, subtract one equation from the other to get:
-1250=-5m
then to get b, put it back in either equation.
1750=5m+b
2900=10m+b
solve for m and b. To get m, subtract one equation from the other to get:
-1250=-5m
then to get b, put it back in either equation.
