Please show your work, and explain where you are stuck.

Do you know the formula to find the slope?

determine the equation of tyhe line in y-intercept form that passes thrpugh a(4,5), b(3,7)

Given two points \(\displaystyle (x_1,y_1)~\&~(x_2,y_2)\) the slope of that line is \(\displaystyle m=\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\).

The y-intercept is \(\displaystyle \left(0,y_1-mx_1\right)\)
