Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form for the given conditions.
passes through (4,33) and (1,21)

The desired equation is thus   y = 4x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is y = mx + b.  There are two values to find:  slope m and y-intercept b.

The line passes through (4, 33).  Thus, 33 = m(4) + b.

The line also passes through (1, 21).  Thus, 21 = m(1) + b, or m = 21 - b.

Thus we have a system of linear equations to solve, and will use the substitution method:

Substitute 21 - b for m in 33 = 4m + b:

33 = 4(21 - b) + b, which, in expanded form, is 33 = 84 - 4b + b, or

                                                                             33 = 84 - 3b, of

                                                                             -51 = -3b.

Thus, b = 17.  Since m = 21 - b, when b = 17, m = 21 - 17 = 4

The desired equation is thus   y = 4x + 17

Of course there are other ways to find this equation.  You could, if you wished, find the slope of the line passing through the given points using the definition of slope, and then find the y-intercept.

step-by-step explanation:

not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. so proving is like doing science, it is science. that's why it is important to prove. 

an inaccurate proof leads to errors, or stating results that are not accurate.  which wil mess the probelm up you dont want this
