Answer:

y = 5/3x + 13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

to find the slope of a line using two points, you use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(-2,1) (1,6)

(6 - 1)/(1 + 2)

5/3 is the slope

to solve for b, you take one of the points in the given and the slope (m) and solve for b

y = mx +b

y = 5/3x + b

6 = 5/3(1) + b

6 = 5/3 + b

18/3 = 5/3 + b

13/3 = b

now put the entire equation together

y = 5/3x + 13/3
