Answer:

y = 1/9x + 3 5/9

Explanation:

The slope between the two marked points is ...

... m = (change in y)/(change in x)

... = (4 -3)/(4 -(-5))

... m = 1/9

Then the point-slope equation for the line with slope m through point (h, k) can be written as ...

... y = m(x -h) +k

... y = 1/9(x -(-5)) +3 . . . . . m = 1/9, (h, k) = (-5, 3)

... y = 1/9x + 3 5/9 . . . . . . simplify
