Answer:

Explanation:

(1,4) (6,-1)

1-6= -5

6--1= 7 its 7 because 6 minus negative 1 would be 7

-5/7 would be your slope

---------------------------------------------------

y=mx+b

y= -5/7x+b

-1= -5/7(6)+b

-1= 6
(-5)/(7)+b

you take those two numbers and subtract

5
(-5)/(7) is y intercept

y=
(-5)/(7)x+5
(-5)/(7)
