Answer:

y - 7 = 2(x - 1)

Explanation:

Going from (-3, -1) to (1, 7), x increases by 4 and y by 8. These numbers are the 'run' and 'rise' of the line, respectively. Thus, the slope of the red line is m = rise/run = m = 8/4 = 2.

Using the point-slope formula and the point (1, 7), we get:

y - 7 = 2(x - 1)
