Answer:

y= 1/18x + 14

Explanation:

Well we can first right the equation like : to find the slope

14- 15

____ = -1/-18 = 1/18

0-18

Now we know the slope is 1/18

we can substitute one point in the equation and the slope to find the equation

let's take 0,14

14= 1/18 ( 0 ) + b

14=b

so b= 14

the y-intercept is 14

the equation is

y= 1/18x + 14
