m= 2
b= 5
the difference between the x-values is 5 and the difference between the y-values is 10. Since it’s rise over run, the m-value (slope) would be 10/5. You then simplify to get 2.
To find the b-value(y-intercept) you can find the distance between one of the point and the y-axis. using the second point (1,7) the difference is 1. Then since it’s only one away, you subtract 2 from the y-value. That’s because the slope is 2 (2/1). You end up with the point (0, 5). sorry if that’s confusing
