Answer:

y=-6/10x+17/11

Explanation:

1-5 keep it, change it, flip it. -6

12-2= 10

y=-6/10x+b

you can take one of the coordinates

I used (2,5) in the equation.

y is 5

m is -6/10

x is 2

-6/10x2 is -12/10

remember to drop down 5

5= -12/10+b

look for fluffy cloud -12/10 turn it to a positive and add it to five and the answer is 17/11 equals b.
