Answer:
y = -[tex]\frac{1}{2}x[/tex] + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
So the y-intercept is already given; (0, 8)
So lets calculate the slope; [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7-8}{2-0} =-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
The slope is -[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Let's put it in slope-intercept form;
y = -[tex]\frac{1}{2}x[/tex] + 8
