Answer:
y=2/7x+19/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (5-3)/(8-1) = 2/7
Therefore, our equation so far is y=2/7x+b where we can calculate b, the y-intercept by plugging in one of our given points [I used (1,3)]:
y=2/7x+b
3=2/7(1)+b
3=2/7+b
21/7=2/7+b
19/7=b
Therefore, our final equation is y=2/7x+19/7
