Answer:

y = 6x - 61 bold numbers are what you put in the boxes

Explanation:

Use any 2 (x,y) pairs to find the slope:

slope = m = Δy/Δx = (-25 - (-31)) / (6-5) = 6

Pick any (x,y) pair and use the point-slope form to find the y-intercept, b:

y - (-13) = 6(x - 8)

y + 13 = 6x - 48

y = 6x - 48 - 13

y = 6x - 61 now you have the slope-intercept form
