Answer:
equation is y=1.3x-12.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one
Given that the points are
(0,7) (8,-2)
X1=0
X2=8
Y1=7
Y2=-2
Step two :
Let us find the Slope
Pluging our points we have
M= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
M=(-2-7)/(8-1)
M=-9/7
M=1.3
Step three :
We know that the equation of a line is given by
Y=Mx+c
Hence the intercept is
-2=1.3*8+c
-2=10.4+c
-12.4=c
c=-12. 4
Hence the equation is y=1.3x-12.4
