The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
You have two points on the line (-1/2, 7) and (-4, 1/2).
The slope is so
From the slope-intercept form we can get
Put either point's x and y in this equation, solving for b.
or
So a = 13/7 and b = 7 13/14.
The equation of the line is
y = 13/7 x + 7 13/14
