Answer:
y= 4x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start off by figuring out the slope
we do that through the following equation
[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\frac{5-(-7)}{1-(-2)}\\\\\frac{12}{3}=4[/tex]
which means our equation so far looks like this
y=4x+b
we just need to solve for b from here
we can do this by plugging in a coordinate set
-7=4(-2)+b
solve for b
-7= -8+b
b=1
Which means that our equation is
y= 4x+1
