Answer:
y=5/8x+4.5
Explanation:
You have to do y-y divided by x-x so 7-2 which equals 5 and 4-(-4) which equals 8 so your slope is 5/8. For y-intercept, you have to do plug in one of your points into y and x in y=mx+b, so I used the point (4, 7) and I put 7 in the y spot and 4 in the x spot and I put the slope in the slope spot so now you have 7=5/8(4)+b. Next, you multiply 5/8 and 4 which gives you 5/2 or 2.5, so now you have 7=2.5+b. Then you subtract 7-2.5 which gives you 4.5 and there is your y-intercept and your whole equation is y=5/8x+4.5.
