First we need to find the slope of the two points. Which is y2-y1 / x2-x1.
8 is Y2 and 2 is Y1. 5 is Y2 and -7 is Y1. Plug those numbers into a calculator and solve. The slope (m) is 1/2 or 0.5
Then we have to find C as the slope intercept form is Y = mx + C. To find C we replace x and y with one of the points, and solve as an algebric equation. C will be 5.5
