Answer:

[tex]y =\frac{x}{7} +\frac{15}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line passes through two points (-1,2) and (6,3)

Slope of the line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Hence slope of our line =

(3-2)/(6+1) = 1/7

So in slope intercept form the equation would be

y = 1/7 x +C

to find C

Since (-1,2) lies on the line substitute these in the line equation

2 = 1/7(-1)+c

C = 2+1/7 = 15/7

Hence equation in slope intercept form is

[tex]y =\frac{x}{7} +\frac{15}{7}[/tex]
