Answer:

y=-12/5x+62

Explanation:

to solve this i turned two point form, 5,50 and 17 1/2,20, into slope intercept form by using the formula y-y1=(y2-y1/x2-x1)(x-x1), which when input with the data becomes y-50=(20-50/17 1/2-5)(x-5) which then becomes y-50=-12/5(x-5), then y-50=-12/5x+12, and finally y=-12/5x+62
