Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 7/2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  To find m, you just have to subtract the two points from each other.

[tex]\frac{8 - 1}{0 - (-2)}[/tex]   = 7/2

The y - intercept always has an x-value of 0, so the y-intercept would be 8.

So, the equation is y = 7/2x + 8
