Answer is equation y = 3/4x - 4 1/2

Step by step

Our points from the graph (2, -3) and (-2, -6)

First we find slope using slope formula
y2 - y1 over x2 - x1

-6 - -3 over -2 -2

-3 over -4 = 3/4 slope

Now we can find the equation using one set of points ( 2, -3) and slope,
using formula
y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - -3 = 3/4 (x - 2)

y + 3 = 3/4x - 3/2

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate y

y + 3 -3 = 3/4x -3/2 -3

combine

y = 3/4x - 4 1/2

this is your equation. When you look at your graph you can see your slope is 3/4 rise over run and you can see your y intercept where your line crosses the y axis is 4 1/2.
Problem solved!
