A slope equation you may not have learned yet is y = m(x-x1)+y1

You can find the slope my taking the two points and doing: (y1-y0)/(x1-x0)=m

In this case, your slope is 40/4 or 10. Now, to finish out the rest of the linear equation I presented,

simply pick a point and plug it in. y = 10(x-7) + 82. In this case, it wants your y variable to be C, so write C instead of y.

If you need the equation in y=mx+b, simply solve it out to get y= 10x + 12
