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
