Answer: Y=-2x-5

Explanation:

Points: (-4, 3) & (-3, 1)

To find the slope, we use m= (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

With these points, m= (1-3)/(-3--4)

This gives us m= -2/1, or -2

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b

We can plug in the slope now, so y=-2x+b

B is the y-intercept, which is -5, in this case

This gives us y=-2x-5
