Answer 1

Answer: y= 0.5x + 5.5

Step-by-step explanation: Y = mx + C

SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM:

First we need to find the slope of the two points. Which is y2-y1 / x2-x1.

8 is Y2 and 2 is Y1. 5 is Y2 and -7 is Y1. Plug those numbers into a calculator and solve. The slope (m) is 1/2 or 0.5

Then we have to find C as the slope intercept form is Y = mx + C. To find C we replace x and y with one of the points, and solve as an algebric equation. C will be 5.5
