Answer:
y=-1/7x + 12/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by finding the slope
m=(1-0)/(-5-2)
m=-1/7
next plug the slope and the point (-5,1) into point slope formula
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y1=1
x1= -5
m=-1/7
y- 1 = -1/7(x - -5)
y-1=-1/7(x+5)
Distribute -1/7 first
y- 1=-1/7x + 5/7
Add 1 on both sides, but since its a fraction add 7/7
y=-1/7x + (5/7+7/7)
y=-1/7x+12/7
