Answer:

y=3/2x-1/2

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to use the slope formula of y₂-y₁=rise/run.

Y₂= 4

Y₁=(-2)

X₂=3

X₁=(-1)

Solve.


\displaystyle \mathsf{(4-(-2))/(2-(-1))=(6)/(3)=2  }}

SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM:

Y=MX+B

m represents the slope.

b represents the y-intercept.

m=3/2

b=-1/2

y=3/2x-1/2

So, the correct answer is y=3/2x-1/2.
