Answer:

y=x+1

Explanation:

First find the slope by subtracting the y values from both points and dividing it by the subtraction of the x values from both points:

-4--2/ -3--1= -2/-2= 1

so the slope is 1

Now find the y-intercept by plugging in the x and y from one of the points into the equation y=x+b

-3=-4+b

1=b

now plug the slope and y intercept in:

y=x+1

hope this helps :D
