Answer:
y = .25x + 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope which is m in y = mx + b. y = mx + b is the standard form for a line.
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
m = (3-1)/(2+6)
m = 2/8
m = 1/4
Plug that in.
y = 1/4x + b
To find b plug in one of the two points and solve.
3 = 1/4(2) + b
3 = 1/2 + b
3 - 1/2 = 1/2 - 1/2 + b
2.5 = b
