Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know the slope (or m in y=mx+b) is 6/5 we just need to solve for b
we will do this by plugging in the required coordinates
-2=(6/5)*5+b
-2=6+b
-8=b
put it all together
Answer:
y = 6x - 43
Step-by-step explanation:
(6, -7) and (8,5)
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(5 + 7)/(8 - 6)
m= 12/2
m = 6
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 7 = 6(x - 6)
y + 7 = 6x - 36
y = 6x - 43
