Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{6}x+6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex](x_1,y_1)\rightarrow(-6,5)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)\rightarrow(6,7)[/tex]

Determine slope

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\ \\m=\frac{7-5}{6-(-6)}\\ \\m=\frac{2}{6+6}\\ \\m=\frac{2}{12}\\ \\m=\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Use either ordered pair to find the y-intercept

[tex]y=mx+b\\\\7=\frac{1}{6}(6)+b\\\\7=1+b\\\\6=b[/tex]

Final equation

[tex]y=\frac{1}{6}x+6[/tex]
