Answer:

y - 7/5 = 6/19x + 1

Explanation:

Point slope form is described by the formula y - y₁ = mx - x₁

We know the slope, so we can make the equation y - y₁ = 6/19x - x₁ to start.

We also have a given point on the graph, so we can substitute the x and y values into the equation, giving us y - 7/5 = 6/19x + 1.

The x value has 1 added to it because the x value was -1, and subtracting a negative is adding a positive.

7/5 can also be simplified to 1.4 if chosen
