Find the equation (in slope-intercept form) of the line passing through the points with the given coordinates, (-4, 2), (-1, 3)
========================
The slope is given by m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (3-2)/(-1 - -4) = 1/3
y = mx + b
Use either of the (x,y) pairs to solve for b:
2 = -4/3 + b
b = 10/3
So the equation is y = x/3 + 10/3
