Find the equation of the line containing the points (0,3) and (1,8)

y = 5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 8)

m = = 5

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3

y = 5x + 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form

answer: evaluate the objective function at each vertex to determine which - and -values, if any, maximize or minimize the function. example: find the minimum value and maximum value of the objective function f ( x , y ) = 4 x + 5 y , subject to the following constraints
