Answer:
y = (3/-2)x + 4
Explanation:
the equation you want to find is in the form of y = mx + b
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) is a formula to determine the slope of a line from two points
(7 - 1) / ([-2] - 2) = m (m meaning slope)
6 / -4 = m
3 / -2 = m
now that you know m, you can solve for b by inserting one of the points in the slope form equation and the slope
y = mx + b
1 = (3/-2)(2) + b
1 = -3 + b
add three to both sides
4 = b
the equation will be y = (3/-2)x + 4
