Answer:

y = 6/5x-1

Explanation:

We have two points so we can find the slope

(-5,-7) and (5,5)

The slope is

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 5- -7)/( 5 - -5)

= (5+7)/(5+5)

= 12/10

= 6/5

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b

y = 6/5x+b

Using the point (5,5)

5 = 6/5(5)+b

5=6+b

b=-1

y = 6/5x-1
