Answer:

y = (7/4)x + 2

Explanation:

(-4, -5) and (0, 2)

(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)

y₂ - y₁ 2 - (-5) 2 + 5 7

m = ------------- = ------------- = ------------- = --------

x₂ - x₁ 0 - (-4) 0 + 4 4

(it doesn't matter which points you put)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 2 = (7/4)(x - 0)

y - 2 = (7/4)x - 0

+2 +2

----------------------------

y = (7/4)x + 2

I hope this helps!
