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, -2) and (x2, y2) = (3, -5).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(3)x + (-14)

Your graph:

For this we first need to find the slope of the line which could be represented by

Since this information is given we only need to plug in the appropiate values so...

Which gives us the answer:

or simply put 3
Now that we know slope we can use the point slop formula which is:

once again we plug in the information:

Which in step will be:

then solve for y:

Which is the equation for this line.
