Answer:
y = 1/4 x + 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
first we need to find the slope which is difference of the y's over difference of the x's. so (3-1)/(2-(-6)). ---> 2/8 ---> 1/4. the slope is 1/4.
pick one of the coordinates and plug in the y and x, solving for the y intercept. so:
3=1/4 * 2 + a
3=1/2 + a
a = 3 - 1/2
a = 5/2
so:
y = 1/4 x + 5/2
