If you plot the points and connect them you will see that they make a perfect line like this.

You were given the y-intercept (0,1), all we need is a slope and we can form the function.
The slope formula , m is the slope, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points on the line.
(x1,y1)=(-2,-2) and (x2,y2)=(0,1)

The slope intercept form of a line is , m=slope, and (0,b)=y-intercept.
Your m=3/2 and (0,b)=(0,1)
y=(3/2)x+1
You can replace the y with f(x) if you need function notation.
f(x)=(3/2)x+1
Happy Calculating!!!
