Answer:

-13

Explanation:

For y 5-(-1)=6

for x -3-(-2)=-1

6/-1=-6

Now that we have the slope (mm), we can use one of the points (let's use (-2, -1)(−2,−1)) and substitute it into the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b\

-1 = (-6)(-2) + b

-1 = 12 + b

Subtract 12 from both sides:

b = -1 - 12

b = -13

So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

y=−6x−13
