Answer:

his requires the point slope formula or just substituting.

Let's do the point slope first

y-y1=m(x-x1) y1 is the y value of the ordered pair and x1 is the x value. m is the slope

y-8=1.2(x-7) Be careful with the signs. If the y value were -8, the left side would be y- -8 or y+8

Now distribute

y-8=(1.2*x) -8.4 (1.2*7)

add 8 to both sides

y=1.2x -0.4 That is the equation of the line.
