Find the slope.
m=%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29
m=%282-3%29%2F%28-1-2%29
m=%28-1%29%2F%28-3%29
m=1%2F3
Use the point-slope form of a line and convert to slope-intercept.
y-3=%281%2F3%29%28x-2%29
y-3=%281%2F3%29x-2%2F3
y=%281%2F3%29x-2%2F3%2B9%2F3
highlight%28y=%281%2F3%29x%2B7%2F3%29
