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!
