Graph the points and draw the line through those points.

For the equation, first, find the slope.
m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29=%281-%28-2%29%29%2F%283-%28-4%29%29=3%2F7
Now use the point-slope form of a line.
y-yp=m%28x-xp%29
y-1=%283%2F7%29%28x-3%29
y-1=%283%2F7%29x-9%2F7
highlight_green%28y=%283%2F7%29x-2%2F7%29
