The equation is y= x+9
The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. slope is calculated as "rise over run"
The correct question is attached below:
The points are (-8, 1) and (-2, 7)
m= (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m= 7-1/ -2+8
m= 6/6
m=1
We know equation of line is
y= mx+ c
1= -8 + c
c= 9
So, y= x+9.
