The equation of the line is equivalent to y = -2/5 x + 13 3/5
Given the coordinates passing through the coordinates (-1, 14) and (-6, 16)
The equation of a line in slope intercept form is expressed as y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
Determine the slope
slope = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
slope = 16-14/-6+1
slope = 2/-5
slope = -2/5
For the y-intercept
14 = -2/5(-1) + b
14 = 2/5 + b
b = 14 - 2/5
b = 68/5
b = 13 3/5
Hence the equation of the line is equivalent to y = -2/5 x + 13 3/5
