Answer:

y = 0.8x + 3

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given slope m = 0.8 , then

y = 0.8x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c , substitute the point (5, 7 ) into the partial equation

7 = 0.8(5) + c = 4 + c ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3 = c

y = 0.8x + 3 ← equation of line
