Answer:

y = 3/2x + 4

Explanation:

First, you find the slope(y1 - y2/x1 - x2) which you can subsitute to 10 - 7/4-2, which will get you 3/2 and you put that in the place of the slope (m). So now our equation is y=3/2x+ y-int, to find the y intercept, there is a method which you can use to find it is to time the x point in a set by the slope, and minus it using the y to find the y intercept. In this case, you time the 2 by 3/2, which will get you 3, and minus it by the y that is 7, and you will get 4
