Answer:

y-4=3(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y-4 = 3(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you will need to find the slope of the two points.

You can do this by using the slope formula:

[tex]m=(y_{2}-y_{1} ) /(x_{2}-x_{1})[/tex]

Which would equal :

[tex]\frac{7-4}{2-1} =\frac{3}{1} =3[/tex]

You would also have to know what point-slope form is:

[tex]y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)[/tex]

Now insert your points, and the slope.

y-4 = 3(x-1)
