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) = (-5, -4) and (x2, y2) = (-3, -1).
Slope a is .
Intercept is found from equation , or . From that,
intercept b is , or .

y=(1.5)x + (3.5)

Your graph:

so, the equation in slope-intercept form is:
