Find the measure of x and determine the theorm

y=-1/7x + 12/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope

m=(1-0)/(-5-2)

m=-1/7

next plug the slope and the point (-5,1) into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=1

x1= -5

m=-1/7

y- 1 = -1/7(x - -5)

y-1=-1/7(x+5)

Distribute -1/7 first

y- 1=-1/7x + 5/7

Add 1 on both sides, but since its a fraction add 7/7

y=-1/7x + (5/7+7/7)

y=-1/7x+12/7
