Answer:

y=-3/2x+7.5

Explanation:

You need to find the slope by subtracting second point,(7,-3), from the first point, (5,0), you get the slope of -3/2.

you need to put it on a graph with that slope, place the original two points and you move the slope up the y-axis 7.5, making the y-intercept (7.5,0)
