Use the slope (m) formula to find the slope between (x1,y1)=(-2,3) and (x2,y2)=(4,7)
The slope formula is

reduce and:
m=2/3
Use (x,y)=(-2,3). Plug into the slope intercept form {{highlight(y=mx+b)}}} and solve for b.

Now you have m=2/3 and b=13/3, plug them into y=mx+b and you have the equation of the line:

Happy Calculating!!!

(7-3)/(4+2)=4/6 or 2/3 for the slope & 3=2/3(-2)+b 3=-4/3+b or b=3+4/3 or
b=13/3 thus the formula is y=2/3x+13/3
