Answer: y=+7

Explanation:

y = mx+b

  • m is the slope, and
  • b is the y-intercept

m= y2-y1/ x2-x1

m= 7-7/ 2- (-8)

m=0/10 so m=0

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(-8,7). When x of the line is -8, y of the line must be 7.

(2,7). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be 7.
