Answer:
y = (1/2)x + (5/2)
Explanation:
(7, 6), (-1, 2)
(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)
y₂ - y₁ 2 - 6 -4 1
m = ------------- = ------------ = ------- = -------
x₂ - x₁ -1 - 7 -8 2
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 2 = (1/2)(x - (-1)
y - 2 = (1/2)(x + 1)
y - 2 = (1/2)x + (1/2)
+2 +2
--------------------------
y = (1/2)x + (5/2)
I hope this helps!
