Answer:


y = (7)/(2)x

Explanation:

1. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is written as
y = mx + b, where y is the y-coordinate, m is the slope, x is the x-coordinate, and b is the y-intercept.

2. To solve for the slope, let's take the two points (0,0) and (2,7) and plug their values into this formula:
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


  • (7-0)/(2-0)

  • (7)/(2)

3. Our slope is 7/2, so the equation looks like this so far:
y = (7)/(2)x + b

4. Because b is the y-intercept, b = 0 because the line intersects the y-axis at (0,0).

5. Now, when we plug in the values of the slope and y-intersect, we get:
y = (7)/(2)x.

Therefore, the equation is
y = (7)/(2)x
