Explanation:
Recall that the equation for a line in point-slope form is
First we have to find the slope using
Plugging in (4,4) for (x,y) and (1,3) for
We now have the equation
Next, let's plug in a point and solve for b. I will use the point (1,3).
With both our slope and y-intercept, we can now write the equation of the line as:
