Answer:

y = 2x + 11

Explanation:

To find the slope, use the equation (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1). You get (15 - 5)/(2 - (-3), or 2. Then, use the slope you just found in the equation y - y1 = slope (x - x1), or y - 15 = 2 (x - 2). Simplifying down you get y = 2x -4 + 15, or y = 2x + 11, which is your final answer.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any confusion!
