Answer:

y=1.6x-8.4

Explanation:

First, find the slope which is y 2 minus y 1 divided by x 2 minus x 1

Slope= 16/10 or 1.6

So now it is y=16/10x + b or y=1.6x+b

Now pick a random coordinate and substitute to find y intercept we can use the first one (29,38)

38=1.6(29)+b

y intercept = -8.4

Equation is y=1.6x - 8.4 or y=16/10x - 8.4

Hoped this helped :)
