Answer:

y = 1/3x - 11/3

Explanation:

equation of the line in point - slope form is,

y = mx + c

where,

m is the slope

c is the constant

slope, m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

= -4 + 3 / -1 - 2

= -1 / -3 = 1/3

let's substitute the values in the equation to find the constant by taking any x, y co - ordinates. i am taking x1, y1

-3 = 1/3(2) + c

c = -3 - 2/3 = -9 - 2 / 3 = -11/3

thus, the equation of the line in point - slope form is,

y = 1/3x - 11/3
