Answer:
y = (-9/8)x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
the line equation for slope intercert form looks like this
y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y intercept
The line intercepts the y at b= 7 (as noted in point (0, 7)
To find slope, use the 2 points given and the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1)
point (x1, y1) is (0, 7) and
point (x2, y2) is (8, -2)
plug in the correct spots for m = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (-2 - 7) / (8 - 0) = -9 / 8
substitute y = mx +b = (-9/8)x + 7
I hope this helps :-)
