Answer: y = -3/4x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

first find slope:

y2-y1 / x2 - x1

1-4 / 8-4

-3/4

now just plug the slope (m) into the equation of a line using one of the points to find the y intercept

ill use (8,1)

1 = (-3/4)(8) + b

now solve :)

1 = -6 + b

7 = b

so now plug in the slope and the y intercept into the slope intercept form to find the equation of the line

y = -3/4x + 7
