Answer:

y = 4/3x -7

Explanation:

The marked points differ in their y-values by +4, and their x-values by 3. The slope of the line is ...

m = rise/run = 4/3

There is a marked point on the y-axis at y = -7. This is the y-intercept. Then the desired equation is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

y = 4/3x -7
