Answer:

y=4.9x-5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using the equation (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

-2-(-3/5) / 5/7-1

solve: m= 7/5/ 2/7

simplify: m= 49/10 or 4.9

Next, put the slope and point 1 (1,-3/5) into point slope formula. y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+(3/5)= 4.9(x-1)

Simplify this equation to slope- intercept form y=mx+b

y+(3/5)= 4.9(x-1)

y+(3/5)= 4.9x-4.9

y=4.9x-5.5
