Question 541368: how would you write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that goes through (-4,-1) and (-2,3)?

i already got the slope of 2 by 3+1 over -2+4 which equaled 4 over 2 which i reduced to 2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
m=(3--1)/(-2--4)
m=4/2
m=2
-----------------
y=mx+b
3=2*-2+b
3=-4+b
b=7
-------------
y=2x+7
