Answer:

y = -3/2x - 2.5

Explanation:

First, identify the slope by using y-y1/x-x1

2- -1 = 3, -3 - -1 = -2 the slope is -3/2

Then, you have y = -3/2x + b

To find b, you have to plug in a value of x and y

I will use the point (-3,2) for this example.

2 = -3(-3/2) + b

2 = 9/2 + b

2 = 4.5 + b

b = -2.5

Once you assemble your equation, you should get y = -3/2x - 2.5
