Find the Slope and y-intercept (5,4) , ( square root of 3,7)

$(5, 4)$ , $(\sqrt{3}, 7)$

Step 1

Find the value of the slope.

Slope is equal to the change in $y$ over the change in $x$ , or rise over run.

$m = \frac{change in y}{change in x}$

The change in $x$ is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in $y$ is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

Substitute in the values of $x$ and $y$ into the equation to find the slope.

$m = \frac{7 - (4)}{\sqrt{3} - (5)}$

Simplify.

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply $- 1$ by $4$ .

$m = \frac{7 - 4}{\sqrt{3} - (5)}$

Subtract $4$ from $7$ .

$m = \frac{3}{\sqrt{3} - (5)}$

Multiply $- 1$ by $5$ .

$m = \frac{3}{\sqrt{3} - 5}$

Multiply $\frac{3}{\sqrt{3} - 5}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3} + 5}{\sqrt{3} + 5}$ .

$m = \frac{3}{\sqrt{3} - 5} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3} + 5}{\sqrt{3} + 5}$

Multiply $\frac{3}{\sqrt{3} - 5}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3} + 5}{\sqrt{3} + 5}$ .

$m = \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{(\sqrt{3} - 5) (\sqrt{3} + 5)}$

Expand the denominator using the FOIL method.

$m = \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{{\sqrt{3}}^{2} + \sqrt{3} \cdot 5 - 5 \sqrt{3} - 25}$

Simplify.

$m = \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{- 22}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$m = - \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{22}$

Step 2

Find the value of the y-intercept.

Substitute the value of $m$ into the slope-intercept form of the equation, $y = m x + b$ .

$y = (- \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{22}) \cdot x + b$

Substitute the value of $x$ into the slope-intercept form of the equation, $y = m x + b$ .

$y = (- \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{22}) \cdot (5) + b$

Substitute the value of $y$ into the slope-intercept form of the equation, $y = m x + b$ .

$4 = (- \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{22}) \cdot (5) + b$

Rewrite the equation as $(- \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{22}) \cdot (5) + b = 4$ .

$(- \frac{3 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{22}) \cdot (5) + b = 4$

$\frac{- 5 (3 (\sqrt{3} + 5))}{22} + b = 4$

Multiply $3$ by $- 5$ .

$\frac{- 15 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{22} + b = 4$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$- \frac{15 (\sqrt{3} + 5)}{22} + b = 4$

To write $b$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{22}{22}$ .
