Answer: Y = 1/2x + 6
Explanation:
In order to find the slope you have to use the formula
M=y2-y1/x2-x1 so plug in the coordinates. The first set of points 1, 7 is X1 Y1 and the second set of points -1, 6 is X2 Y2
6-7 / -1 - 1 so the slope = -1/-2 which is 1/2
Then you take 1/2 for the slope, choose one point and you plug it in to the slope intercept formula
Slope formula is
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Y- 7 = 1/2 (x - 1)
Y-7 = 1/2x - 1
+7 +7
Y= 1/2x +6
