Step 1, find the slope, m
===========
It's y = mx + b
b is given: b = 7

%289-7%29%2F%288-0%29
2%2F8
1%2F4
Using point (0,7) and the point-slope form,
y-7=%281%2F4%29%28x-0%29
highlight%28y-7=%281%2F4%29x%29


You were given the y-intercept so the slop-intercept form of equation is highlight%28y=x%2F4%2B7%29. Only one or two simple algebra steps will give the same thing.
