Answer:

y = \frac{4}{5} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 1)

m = \frac{1+7}{5+5} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}, thus

y = \frac{4}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (5, 1), then

1 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 4 = - 3

y = \frac{4}{5} x - 3 ← equation of line
