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) = (1, -2) and (x2, y2) = (3, 4).
Slope a is  .
Intercept is found from equation  , or  . From that,
intercept b is  , or  .
y=(3)x + (-5)
Your graph:

since  is slope-intercept form  where  is a slope and  is a 
so, is  ; point ( , )
 : set  to find
 ... is  ; point (,)
