Answer:

y = -8/5x + 16

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

m = the slope

b = y-intercept

The slope = rise/run or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Pick 2 points (0,16) (5,8)

We see the y decrease by 8 and the x increase by 5, so the slope is

m = -8/5

The Y-intercept is located at (0,16)

So, the equation is y = -8/5x + 16
