Given that the line passes through the points
(-4,\ -1) and
(1 (1)/(2), \ 2)

The equation of a line passing through two points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is given by:


(y-y_1)/(x-x_1) = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Thus, the required equation is obtained as follows:


(y-(-1))/(x-(-4)) = (2-(-1))/(( (3)/(2)) -(-4)) \\ \\ \Rightarrow (y+1)/(x+4) = (2+1)/( (3)/(2)+4)= (3)/( (11)/(2) )= (6)/(11) \\ \\ \Rightarrow 11(y+1)=6(x+4)\\ \\ \Rightarrow 11y+11=6x+24\\ \\ \Rightarrow \bold{-6x+11y=13}
