Solved by pluggable solver: Find the equation of line going through points

hahaWe are trying to find equation of form y=ax+b, where a is slope, and b is intercept, which passes through points (x1, y1) = (-4, 1) and (x2, y2) = (-2, -3).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(-2)x + (-7)

Your graph:

so, your line is
