Answer:

y=1/2x - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the point-slope formula to write an equation for this line. The point-slope formula states :

where m  is the slope and (x1   y1)  is a point the line passes through .

We can substitute the slope and values from the point to give:

(y-1) = 8 (x-7)

We can also transform this equation to the slope-intercept form by solving for  

y

. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+b

where the m is the slope and b s the y-intercept value.

y-1= (8 times x) - ( 8 times 7)

y-1=   8x - 56

y-1 + 1= 8x- 56 + 1

y-0=  8x- 55

y= 8x - 55
