Answer: y = (-14/5)x + 94/5
Step-by-step explanation:
for equation of a line
(x - x1)/(x2 - x1) = (y - y1)/(y2 - y1)
substituting (6,2), (1, 16) for (x, y)
(x - 6)/(1 - 6) = (y - 2)/(16 - 2)
(x - 6)/-5 = (y - 2)/14
cross multiplying,
14(x - 6) = -5(y - 2)
opening parentheses
14x - 84 = -5y + 10
rearranging,
5y = -14x + 94
y = (-14/5)x + 94/5
