Write in Slope-Intercept Form (0,3) and (2,5)

$(0, 3)$ and $(2, 5)$

Step 1

Find the slope of the line between $(0, 3)$ and $(2, 5)$ using $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ , which is the change of $y$ over the change of $x$ .

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.

$m = \frac{5 - (3)}{2 - (0)}$

Simplify.

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply $- 1$ by $3$ .

$m = \frac{5 - 3}{2 - (0)}$

Subtract $3$ from $5$ .

$m = \frac{2}{2 - (0)}$

Simplify the denominator.

Multiply $- 1$ by $0$ .

$m = \frac{2}{2 + 0}$

Add $2$ and $0$ .

$m = \frac{2}{2}$

Divide $2$ by $2$ .

$m = 1$

Step 2

Use the slope $1$ and a given point $(0, 3)$ to substitute for $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ in the point-slope form $y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})$ , which is derived from the slope equation $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ .

$y - (3) = 1 \cdot (x - (0))$

Step 3

Simplify the equation and keep it in point-slope form.

$y - 3 = 1 \cdot (x + 0)$

Step 4

Solve for $y$ .

Simplify $1 \cdot (x + 0)$ .

Multiply $x + 0$ by $1$ .

$y - 3 = x + 0$

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$y - 3 = x$

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = x + 3$
