Answer: y= -1/2x -3

Step-by-step explanation: you just have to do -5- (-2) over 4-(-2) when u divide these two you should get the slope. When you get the slope pick one of the coordinates in your questions and plug them in as Mx + b form.

Answer:

Explanation:

(-5 + 2)/(4 + 2) = -3/6 = -1/2

y + 2 = -1/2(x + 2)

y + 2 = -1/2x - 1

y = -1/2x - 3
